Dean Skelos and Son Found Guilty on All Counts in Corruption Trial
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/ny...rial.html?_r=0The former State Senate majority leader Dean G. Skelos and his son were found guilty of federal corruption charges on Friday, a quick and devastating follow-up punch to the state Capitol in Albany, which has now seen two entrenched leaders convicted and removed from office.
Mr. Skelos had been one of the three most powerful men in state government until his arrest earlier this year, and his conviction close on the heels of his former colleague, the longtime Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, is sure to have repercussions beyond the courtroom. As in Mr. Silver’s case, which ended Nov. 30, the verdict will result in Mr. Skelos’s expulsion from the State Legislature, where both men had served for more than three decades.
