Former State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is in Federal Court in Lower Manhattan today for his corruption re-trial. Silver was flanked by attorneys and told the media heading in that he’s wonderful after being asked how he’s feeling. The Democrat was convicted of a bribery scheme in 2015 but that conviction was later tossed by a judge after the Supreme Court narrowed the legal definition of public corruption. There’s a new defense and prosecution team and a new jury but much of the same evidence is expected to be presented.
