The alleged scheme began in 2003, when the Town of North Hempstead, its Community Development Agency and the Nassau County Economic Development Corporation issued a request for proposals for seven New Cassel land sites that were to be redeveloped. To rig the selection of a developer, Corbin and Williams allegedly worked with the CDA’s executive director, Neville Mullings, and town Building and Planning Commissioner David Wasserman. Both men sat on the CDA’s Selection Committee, which was responsible for reviewing developers’ proposals and recommending the best ones.

Mullings and Wasserman were indicted on the same charges as the two legislators in 2010, and Batheja was charged with bribery and is part of a separate case.

Corbin, Williams and Mullings pleaded not guilty to the charges. Their trial began on Feb. 28.

In last week’s partial verdict, Corbin was convicted of receiving $208,000 in bribes from Batheja. He was also convicted of official misconduct for contacting the Bank of New York, while he was a legislator, and asking it to allow Batheja to continue with his project. At the time, the bank was foreclosing on a loan to Batheja.

Williams was found not guilty of two counts of second-degree grand larceny.

According to Chris Munzing, a spokesman for Rice, Mullings was found guilty of official misconduct and not guilty of first-degree falsifying of business records, defrauding the government and two counts of official misconduct. Munzing also said that charges against Wasserman were dismissed in June.

There are a number of remaining charges in the case, Munzing said, including five against Williams, eight against Corbin and 16 against Mullings. “The jury is still deliberating,” Munzing said.

Corbin faces up to 15 years in prison, Munzing said, adding that case’s next court date has not been set.
