Former New York state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son were found guilty on all eight counts by a jury in Manhattan federal court Tuesday, in a retrial that ended in the same result as the first public corruption trial held before U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood of the Southern District of New York in 2015.
The Skelos’ convictions provide the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York with a perfect record on retrial, after a jury found former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver guilty during his own retrial earlier this year.
