Supreme Court declines case of ex NY Assembly Speaker Silver
The Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, allowing a retrial likely in April after the 2nd U.S. Circuit reversed his 2015 public corruption conviction and instructed jurors on an updated standard from the McDonnell decision. Silver, a Democrat elected in 1976 who led the assembly for 21 years, faces renewed proceedings as prosecutors and defense prepare arguments under the revised legal framework.
