New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo left and Joseph Percoco are seen at a press conference on Friday
"I respect the verdict that the jury came up with".
One senior at Connetquot High School said she and others had received three days of in-school suspension for standing outside the front of the school.
Joseph Percoco, who was once likened to a brother by the Democratic governor, faces up to 20 years in prison for his conviction on conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and soliciting bribes.
Andrew Cuomo (D) said on Thursday that NY schools should not discipline students for walkouts after the nationwide school walkouts against gun violence. "Twelve everyday New Yorkers could cut through all of the confusion and get to the main point, which is that the conduct introduced at trial was not only wrong, it was illegal, and corrupt". Now, Joe Percoco is a felon, convicted Tuesday on three counts of bribery and public corruption. The jury found Cor Development company founder Steven Aiello guilty on one count of bribery.
Using Howe's testimony and an extensive record of emails, prosecutors showed Percoco's increasingly urgent pleas to Howe - another longtime confidant of the Cuomos - for "ziti", a term for cash payments that Percoco borrowed from HBO's mafia drama "The Sopranos". Cor official Joseph Gerardi was found not guilty on any of the charges. They are expected to call on state officials to pull Competitive Power Ventures' permits for their $1 billion natural gas power plant in Wawayanda.
The judge in the case, Valerie Caproni, declared a mistrial for Kelly.

SwiftKey 7.0 adds stickers, location sharing, new languages, and more
The hub on the keyboard is now replaced with a new Toolbar that gives access to GIFs, location features, and calendar features. Stickers can also be saved to a personal collection and can found at a later point by pressing on the pin icon in the Toolbar.
The governor's political opponents scoffed at his explanation.
The governor called such actions "an egregious safety violation" and unlawful.
"The suggestion that he knew nothing about it when everybody, everybody understands that he is a micromanager of the first degree", said DeFrancisco.
In an open letter, Governor Cuomo asked New York State Education Department Commissioner MaryEllen Elia to stop school districts in New York from disciplining students and faculty who participated in Wednesday's walkouts.
The head of Reinvent Albany dismissed Cuomo's proposal as a "distraction" from what the Percoco case was about. He said, if Percoco was doing more than that, then it was wrong. He called the verdict "a wake-up call to Albany to do something to clean up its ethics act". "So when they raise political garbage, an insightful reporter like you will say, 'But that's not the fact because we covered the trial and the governor's involvement was never mentioned, his name was never mentioned'".
