NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the sentencing hearing for former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (all times local):
3:10 p.m.
Former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been sentenced to seven years in prison for public corruption.
U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni announced the sentence Friday at a court in Manhattan.
Silver was once among Albany’s most powerful Democrats until he was felled by a corruption scandal.
He was initially found guilty in 2015 of pocketing $4 million illegally by collecting fees from a cancer researcher and real estate developer.
His conviction and 12-year prison sentence were thrown out by an appeals court, but the 74-year-old fared no better at a second trial in May.

They'll drag it out as long as possible and then if he has to go it won't be the same type of prison a regular citizen would be sent to.
