Abstract
- ALBANY -- Joseph L. Bruno, for years one of the most powerful politicians in New York, was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison on federal corruption charges. But underscoring the serious doubts surrounding the constitutionality of the law used to convict him, Mr. Bruno was allowed to remain free until the Supreme Court rules on the statute. Several justices have questioned the validity of the law, and the court could strike it down as early as this month, raising the possibility that one of the most significant and time-consuming political corruption cases in recent New York history will end in no jail time.
