Let’s all hope Sheldon Silver stays guilty this time
A jury of his peers has found former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver guilty of corruptly abusing his office — again. Let’s hope it sticks this time.
It took less than 24 hours for the jurors to reach guilty verdicts on all seven counts of trading legislative favors for legal referral fees — via cutouts such as an asbestos doctor and various law firms.
Of course, Silver was first convicted in this case back in 2015, but a later US Supreme Court ruling led to the tossing of those verdicts and (eventually) this retrial.
