There’s still no cell for Shel.
Some 474 days after former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was convicted — for the second time — of peddling his office’s influence in exchange for millions in kickbacks, he remains a free man.
Silver, 75, still hasn’t spent a single night behind bars, as his case is again before a panel of federal appeals court judges and continues to live on public funds — his nearly $7,000 monthly state pension.
But Silver, spotted strolling around his Lower East Side stomping grounds on Tuesday, hardly had the gracious demeanor of a man free to enjoy a beautiful late summer day.
“You’ll make it up anyway, so why should I tell you?” Silver snapped at a Post reporter who asked him how he was spending his time on the outside.
