An appeals court Tuesday partially overturned the most recent conviction of disgraced former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
In an 84-page ruling, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Silver’s conviction on charges of honest services wire fraud, extortion, and monetary transactions involving crime proceeds.
Meanwhile, they vacated the 75-year-old’s conviction on honest services mail fraud and wire fraud, and remanded his case back to a Manhattan federal court judge for re-sentencing.
It was not immediately clear if prosecutors planned to retry the Democrat, or how the dismissed charges might impact the amount of prison time he now faces.
