A Manhattan federal judge on Monday sentenced Sheldon Silver, the former speaker of the New York State Assembly, to serve six and a half years on fraud and corruption charges stemming from two kickback schemes he ran while in office.

The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni of the Southern District of New York, came more than five years after a federal jury first convicted Silver following a public corruption trial in November 2015. A Manhattan-based federal appeals court, however, later overturned Silver’s conviction and ordered than he be retried in light of a U.S. Supreme Court decision, which required a narrower interpretation of federal bribery statutes.
