The judge said that most of the evidence is circumstantial. If she instructs the jury to only look at concrete evidence and "beyond reasonable doubt" he may walk.

Albany is a "mass grave site" where all have skeletons: I'm just going to bet he slips out of the noose or gets a little Community Service with the parking ticket..must not have rolled over, since he's not witness protected or dead...
"He made millions...." again, too big to Jail. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/11/23/sheldon-silver-trial-closing-arguments/ |

Only update I heard was a blurb on the top of the hour news that 1 juror sent a note to the judge saying that they had a view different than all of the other jurors and felt pressured and stressed to change their mind.
Can't decide if it's 1 sane person in the jury room against the NYC madness, or 1 insane person holding up the works. I guess time will tell. |

“I am wondering if there is anyway I can be excused from this case, because I have a different opinion/view so far in this case and it is making me feel very, very uncomfortable.”
That plea to be excused from the case came in a note from an unidentified juror, sent to the judge, Valerie E. Caproni, less than two hours after deliberations had started in Federal District Court in Manhattan. “I’m feeling pressured, stressed out ... told that I’m not using my common sense, my heart is pounding and my head feels weird,” the juror wrote. “I am so stressed out right now that I can’t even write normally. I don’t feel like I can be myself right now! I need to leave!” Looks like a precious little snow flake has had their delicate feelings trampled on. A second note came shortly afterward, apparently from a different unidentified juror, stating that one of the jurors — the note did not specify which one — was having difficulty distinguishing whether or not giving New York State funds for “something in return is illegal.” Only in NY, folks.

If Silver is convicted, it will be overturned in appeal.
I highly doubt, he will spend anytime in prison. The best that can be hoped for, has already happened, he is out as Speaker. As for squealing on the Cuomo, not a chance. |

Apparently there was yet another note at the end of the day from a juror asking to speak privately to the judge after the rest of the jury was dismissed for the day. No doubt in my mind that the 11 other Jurors are heading towards guilty on at least a few counts. From the sounds of it the Judge is going to call them in to the court room around noon and ask them if they want to keep deliberating or adjourn until monday. The suspense is killing me

They just dismissed the jury until monday... Judge denied the request from the juror to have a meeting.
I am thinking its 11 to one for guilty and the one probably thinks its done all the time, it cant possibly be illegal, or else there would be lots of politicians going to jail... must be a misunderstanding. If the judge doesnt dismiss the juror on monday, this is going to be a mistrial. I just hope Preet has the balls to move forward with another trial... |

yikes Juror has asked to be removed from deliberations because the man who owns the medallion of the taxi he drives knows Silver from synagogue Judge tells the juror he cannot be excused and to go inside and continue deliberations. Law prevents him from being retaliated against Worth noting they cannot deliberate without all 12 jurors in room, so while this issue took up most of morning deliberations likely stalled So there you have it, a giant waste of time this morning. |

I only hope he slaps the bracelets on him before the ink is even dry. How ironic is it that it's 7 counts that puts this a-hole away? |

Ok Legal eagle types.....now that he is convicted....can he roll over on cuomo and get a favorable "sentencing recommendation" from the DOJ?
I'm just thinking if he went to trial he obviously didn't make any deals, so now that he is looking at going inside all day (said in Sean Connery's voice in my head) maybe he will be more motivated? Is that a real thing or have I watched too many movies?  |

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2015/11/8584037/sheldon-silver-convicted-all-counts-corruption-trial
Assemblyman Sheldon Silver — one of the most powerful men in Albany for two decades and a constant in shaping state policy under five governors — was found guilty Monday of selling his office for legal fees, capping a trial that cast new light on the capital's lax ethics laws and handing federal prosecutors a big win in a case that had lacked a smoking gun. This is what gives me hope. I do not believe Preet has a smoking gun on Cuomo. We know he has plenty of dirt and slime, but no conclusive evidence. I think the Silver trial was a test run and confidence booster for Preet that he can take that pile of evidence and walk away with a win against Cuomo. If Skelos goes down as well it's sort of like a football game where a coach who wins two challenges gets a third. I'd say half their case prep is already tested via Silver, I'm willing to bet what stuck to Silver re: Glenwood will stick to Cuomo. If any lawyer wants to pipe up, what's the implications for the Moreland investigation now that Silver has been convicted? Could a case be made that Cuomo brokered the shutdown with Silver because he knew Silver was dirty? Could a case be made that they both shut it down because they knew it would get both of them? Could it be implied that Cuomo (being an attorney himself) impeded the investigation based on his knowledge and the direction / findings of the Moreland comission? |
