With the convictions of Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos on appeal before the circuit, the ruling upholding the conviction of William Boyland Jr. is expected to play less of a role as precedent than as an example of the circuit committing to reviews of the facts of each case specifically to determine what, if any, of the U.S. Supreme Court's public corruption precedent should be applied.

In its first order fully weighing the U.S. Supreme Court’s public corruption precedent, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday upheld the conviction of former state Assemblyman William Boyland Jr.
The circuit in U.S. v. Boyland, 15-3118, found that despite erroneous instruction to jurors by Eastern District Judge Sandra Townes in a number of the honest services counts, the overwhelming facts of the case meant Boyland did not meet the plain error standard.
