NEWARK \u2014 They were two of the most notable corruption convictions in recent political history, two entrenched New York power brokers seemingly brought to justice, their cases reverberating well beyond the wood-paneled walls of the Statehouse in Albany<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in a span of less than three months, both convictions were overturned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The legal turn of events in the cases against Sheldon Silver<\/a> and Dean G. Skelos<\/a>, the two former New York State<\/a> legislative leaders, is almost certain to resonate in another corruption case unfolding just across the Hudson River in the federal courthouse here where the defendant is United States Senator Robert Menendez<\/a>, a Democrat from New Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What has given Mr. Silver and Mr. Skelos a reprieve was the ruling last year by\u00a0the United States Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0overturning the conviction of the former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell<\/a>. In its unanimous decision, the court severely narrowed the definition of the kinds of official acts a politician must perform to be considered as having partaken in an illegal quid pro quo.<\/p>\n

Making phone calls, arranging meetings or offering support on an issue no longer qualified as an \u201cofficial act\u201d as defined by the court. Instead, an act had to be more directly tied to an elected official\u2019s office, such as offering a government contract or writing legislation.<\/p>\n

In all three cases, the indictments were filed before the Supreme Court<\/a> ruled in the McDonnell case and Mr. Skelos and Mr. Silver were convicted before the Supreme Court ruled.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Menendez\u2019s trial had not started when the ruling was issued and his defense team considered the decision as providing a legal cudgel to have the senator\u2019s case dismissed. They filed a motion in July, after Mr. Silver\u2019s case was overturned, arguing that the McDonnell ruling \u201cchanged the legal landscape for bribery prosecutions\u201d and that the indictment, as it stood, could not \u201cbe reconciled with the Supreme Court\u2019s guidance in McDonnell.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the judge hearing Mr. Menendez\u2019s trial, Judge William H. Walls<\/a>, denied the motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether the acts alleged in the Superseding Indictment satisfy the definition of an \u2018official act\u201d under McDonnell is a factual determination that cannot be resolved before the Government has the opportunity to present evidence at trial,\u201d Mr. Walls wrote in his decision.<\/p>\n

But, he added, the court reserved the right to revisit the possibility of dismissing the case after \u201cthe conclusion of the presentment of evidence at trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet as a result of the\u00a0ruling by a federal appeals panel<\/a>\u00a0overturning Mr. Skelos\u2019s conviction on Tuesday \u2014 attributed in large part to faulty jury instruction \u2014 as well as the decision in Mr. Silver\u2019s case, legal experts say prosecutors in Mr. Menendez\u2019s case have a well-defined higher bar to clear. And that bar needs to be carefully explained by the judge in his instructions to jurors.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo put it another way, if Menendez had been tried before McDonnell, it almost certainly would have had a flawed jury instruction, the type that would have gotten reversed,\u201d said Ricardo Solano<\/a>, a former federal prosecutor.<\/p>\n

The McDonnell ruling has \u201cmade it much more difficult for the government and it made it much more difficult to define actual acts that were taken,\u201d said Michael Weinstein<\/a>, a former trial attorney for the Department of Justice. \u201cNot a setup, not a meeting, but a real action that the representative took. That\u2019s a higher burden and a higher standard than had existed previously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Menendez defense argued along the same lines in its motion.<\/p>\n

The charges against Mr. Menendez stem from three separate issues that the government is attempting to show were official acts taken by the senator on behalf of Dr. Salomon Melgen<\/a>, a wealthy ophthalmologist and donor from Florida, in exchange for lavish gifts and political contributions.<\/p>\n

In one case, prosecutors say that Mr. Menendez personally intervened in visa applications for three of Dr. Melgen\u2019s friends. Mr. Menendez is also accused of pressuring the State Department and Commerce Department to help resolve a contract dispute involving Dr. Melgen in the Dominican Republic<\/a>. And in the third case, prosecutors say that Mr. Menendez pressured the Department of Health and Human Services to resolve a billing dispute involving Dr. Melgen.<\/p>\n

In its motion, the defense argued that, \u201cThe acts in this case are even farther removed from McDonnell, as none of the official acts that Senator Menendez allegedly sought to influence were acts that he could take or that even could be taken by anyone within the Legislative Branch,\u201d and that they would not fall under \u201cofficial acts\u201d taken by a senator, such as introducing legislation.<\/p>\n

Mr. Menendez\u2019s lawyers specifically cited Mr. Silver\u2019s case, saying the \u201cofficial authority\u201d theory offered by prosecutors in that case, which a federal appeals panel found to be \u201coverbroad,\u2019\u2019 was \u201cthe same theory that animates\u201d the indictment in Mr. Menendez\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Some legal experts said the rulings in the Silver and Skelos cases were actually somewhat of a gift to prosecutors and Judge Walls because it offered more clarity about how higher courts are interpreting the McDonnell decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think about Menendez now, it has the guidance of both the McDonnell decision and the Second Circuit in Silver and Skelos,\u201d said Shira A. Scheindlin<\/a>, a former federal judge, referring to the court that overturned both convictions. \u201cThe judge knows exactly what the charge has to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same, she said, goes for prosecutors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can read this and if they haven\u2019t put in some evidence and they now think they have to, or if they haven\u2019t, they will,\u201d she said, referring to the Skelos opinion. \u201cThe prosecution benefited from the timing, because they know exactly what they have to do to get a conviction and make it stick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps mindful of the legal landscape, the prosecution has been exceptionally explicit in detailing the timing of the reported gifts from Dr. Melgen and the actions said to have been taken by Mr. Menendez. \u201cPay close attention to the timing in this case,\u201d Peter Koski<\/a>, the lead prosector, said in his opening statement.<\/p>\n

And the rulings overturning the convictions against Mr. Skelos and Mr. Silver, legal experts noted, were narrowly focused and do not mean that corruption cases against politicians cannot be won. In the Skelos ruling, the panel said that a properly instructed jury had enough evidence to render a guilty verdict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe court is not saying that politicians can do whatever they want, it\u2019s just the instructions to the jury need to be really crisp as to what are official acts and what are not official acts,\u201d said Jeff Cramer<\/a>, a former federal prosecutor. \u201cSkelos is going to be retried. Silver is going to be retried.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Mr. Cramer said, the McDonnell decision and the rulings that have followed have injected a level of uncertainty for prosecutors in all political corruption cases going forward, including Mr. Menendez\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think any prosecutor who has been doing this for a period of time would have guessed that this would have been the outcome,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
