A guilty verdict has been delivered in the corruption trial of State Assemblyman William Boyland Jr.
The Brooklyn lawmaker was accused of trying to solicit bribes in exchange for political favors.
Prosecutors say Boyland tried to extort payments from multiple people, including undercover agents.
His defense team argued the 43-year-old Boyland never intended to produce anything in exchange for money.
Boyland represents parts of central Brooklyn in the State Legislature and comes from a politically influential family.
He faces up to 30 years behind bars.
