\n Sheldon Silver is finally getting at least some of what he deserves: real time behind bars.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Silver, 76, turned himself in at Otisville Correctional Facility, a medium-security federal prison about 80 miles northwest of the city, to at long last start serving his 6\u2009\u00bd years for accepting bribes (nearly $4 million worth), money-laundering, extortion and other crimes committed as speaker of the state Assembly.<\/p>\n

His first conviction, back in November 2015, got tossed on app<\/a>eal in 2017. Convicted in a second trial in May 2018, he again appealed \u2014 and got a three-judge Second Circuit panel to vacate three of the seven \u201cguilty\u201d counts. But his final appeal \u2014 he had the gall to ask the full Second Circuit to take up the case and toss the last four counts, which centered on real-estate kickbacks \u2014 failed.<\/p>\n

It all left him keep roaming free for five years. But in July, federal Judge Valerie Caproni nixed his final bid to delay prison because of the coronavirus. \u201cThe time,\u201d she said, \u201chas now come for Mr. Silver to pay the piper.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still no triumph of justice: Silver will collect a $6,600-a-month pension from New York\u2019s taxpayers. Fixing that would require amending the state Constitution.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
