Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, once one of the most powerful men in New York state politics, has again been found guilty on all seven counts of federal corruption related to two separate schemes in which he enriched himself by steering work toward two law firms for payments, while using his office to provide benefits to those employing those firms.

Silver, appearing outside the courthouse after the verdict, said that while he was disappointed in the jury’s decision, he had full faith in his legal team to prevail on appeal.
