Judge Declares Mistrial In Malcolm Smith Corruption Case

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The federal judge at the corruption trial of three New York politicians has declared a mistrial for two of them.

State Sen. Malcolm Smith, Queens Republican leader Vincent Tabone and former New York City Councilman Daniel Halloran are accused of participating in a scheme to bribe Republican Party leaders so Smith, a Democrat, could run for the GOP line in last year’s New York City mayoral race.

The mistrial covers Smith and Tabone. Halloran’s trial will continue with the current jury.
