Brooklyn, NY —

Former state Assemblyman Clarence Norman Junior left a Brooklyn courtroom in handcuffs today, after a judge sentenced the once-powerful Democratic Party boss to two to six years in prison.

Before the hearing, Norman told reporters the Lord, and his family, was with him. He was convicted of grand larceny in a scheme to shake down a judicial candidate.
