A New York assemblyman has been acquitted of charges he did political favors for a hospital executive in exchange for a no-show job.
A federal jury reached the verdict Thursday at the Manhattan bribery trial of William Boyland Jr.
Prosecutors had accused Boyland of collecting $175,000 in salary from a hospital in his district without working there.
They said he had a secret deal to seek favors and funding in Albany for the head of the hospital.
The 41-year-old Democrat didn’t deny collecting a hospital salary. But his lawyers argued it was legitimate pay for community outreach work.
The case against Boyland stemmed from a corruption investigation resulting in charges against two other state lawmakers.
