Menendez Conviction Stands Despite Jury's Exposure to Improper Evidence

Prosecutors argue that the inadvertent exposure to unredacted evidence did not affect the jury's guilty verdict against the former senator.

Former Senator Bob Menendez was convicted of corruption, including bribery and acting as a foreign agent, in a Manhattan federal court.
Prosecutors revealed that nine pieces of evidence shown to the jury contained unredacted material that should have been excluded.
The U.S. Attorney's office maintains that the oversight was unlikely to have influenced the jury's decision, given the strength of the evidence.
Menendez, who resigned from the Senate following his conviction, has pledged to appeal the verdict.
Sentencing for Menendez is scheduled for January, where he faces potential decades-long imprisonment.
