Former state Senator Joseph Bruno talks to reporters outside the federal courthouse after a jury found him not guilty of federal fraud charges on Friday, May 16, 2014, in Albany, N.Y. Bruno was accused of accepting $360,000 in consulting fees in monthly installments in 2004-2005, plus $80,000 for his share in a worthless racehorse, from Abbruzzese in return for helping his businesses with state grants and advancing his interest in New York's thoroughbred racing.
