NEW YORK (AP) – A former assemblyman and head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party was convicted of grand larceny on Friday in what prosecutors called a scheme to illegally solicit and pocket campaign contributions.

In a mixed verdict, the jury also found Clarence Norman Jr. guilty of one count of attempted grand larceny and coercion, but acquitted him of five other counts.

In the last of four criminal cases against Norman, the Brooklyn state Supreme Court jury deliberated about three days before reaching its verdict.

Norman had been named in four indictments stemming from District Attorney Charles Hynes’ probe into whether Norman and other party leaders sold judgeships.

At two trials in 2005, Norman was found guilty of stealing $5,000 that was donated to his re-election committee in 2001, and of trying to conceal $10,000 in contributions. He was sentenced last year to two to six years in prison but remained free on bail while fighting the remaining charges.

At his third trial last year, Norman was acquitted of charges he unlawfully billed the Assembly for mileage on a Lincoln Town Car leased by the Democratic Party.

The longtime assemblyman was forced to resign following his first conviction.
