Former Jersey City Mayor Leona Beldini was found guilty this afternoon by a Federal Jury in Newark on two of six counts this afternoon:From the Jersey Journal:
Beldini was acquitted on four of six counts, including one conspiracy count, two attempted extortion charges and one bribery count in which she was charged with agreeing to be the exclusive real estate broker for Dwek's condo project in exchange for getting him zoning approvals in the city.
Beldini was convicted of two bribery accounts for accepting $20,000 in a illegal campaign contributions on behalf of Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy. She now faces up to twenty years in prison, but will most likely get a shorter sentence says the article. We'll have JRB, who has been providing excellent coverage for the Jersey City Independent of the case on Blue Jersey Radio next Tuesday night. He'll discuss the case, the verdict and what it means going forward. |
