NYC councilman guilty of some corruption countsNEW YORK (AP) — A veteran New York City politician has been convicted of some corruption counts at his retrial. A federal jury reached the verdict Thursday at the Manhattan trial of city councilman Larry Seabrook. He was found guilty on nine of 12 corruption counts. Prosecutors had accused the 61-year-old Democrat of misdirecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money meant for community projects. The evidence included a receipt for a $7 bagel sandwich that allegedly had been doctored to put the cost at $177. Prosecutors accused Seabrook of using it to make a phony reimbursement request to a political club he controlled. A trial last year ended with a hung jury. |
