Former New York Senate majority leader Dean Skelos arrives to court in New York, Thursday, May 12, 2016. For the second time in less than two weeks, a once-powerful New York politician is facing sentencing in a spate of corruption cases that have roiled Albany. Skelos, 68, and his son, Adam, 33, are scheduled to appear in federal court following convictions last year for extortion, fraud and bribery. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig), APTOPIX
