Took them decades to snare Silver.
Shelly just got 12 years.
http://nypost.com/2016/05/03/sheldon-silver-gets-12-years-in-prison-for-corruption/Corrupt ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was slammed with 12 years behind bars in Manhattan federal court Tuesday.
The Manhattan Dem — one of the most powerful politicians in the state before his arrest last year — also was ordered to fork over nearly $5.2 in ill-gotten gains and another $1.75 million in fines.
The disgraced ex-pol received two prison terms — 12 years for the six criminal counts against him and another 10 years on a seventh — but the terms will run concurrently, the judge said.
