Bruno Found Guilty on 2 Counts
December 7th, 2009
Former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno has convicted of two counts of felony corruption charges. Both counts relate to his dealings with upstate businessman Jared Abbruzzese. Bruno was acquitted of five counts and the jury was unable to come to a verdict on one other count. Bruno is set to be sentenced on March 31.
The Times Union has extensive coverage of the trial.
Representatives of good government groups have said they hope that the trial will lead to tighter ethics laws for state officials.
