What the evidence establishes

CLAIM 01

On October 7, 2010, Alan Hevesi pleaded guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to the felony of receiving reward for official misconduct in the state pension-investment case.

Scope: New York County Supreme Court, Manhattan, New York City · 2010-10-07 – 2010-10-07

Assessment: SUPPORTED

The Attorney General’s original related filing gives the exact plea date and charge; contemporary court reporting locates the completed plea in Manhattan.

Review status: SOURCE_CHECKED_AI_REVIEW. This is not an independently certified universal verdict.

What is not established: The original charging allegations are distinguished from this completed plea. The prior separate 2006 case and other defendants’ liability are outside this assessment.

CLAIM 02

On April 15, 2011, Alan Hevesi received a prison sentence of one to four years in the Manhattan pension-misconduct case.

Scope: New York County Supreme Court, Manhattan, New York City · 2011-04-15 – 2011-04-15

Assessment: SUPPORTED

The contemporary April 15 report describes a completed sentence and attributes the one-to-four-year range to the Attorney General. The official retrospective independently preserves that range, while earlier dates in the news chain were prospective.

Review status: SOURCE_CHECKED_AI_REVIEW. This is not an independently certified universal verdict.

What is not established: This is the imposed indeterminate range, not a fixed four-year term or a claim about actual time served. Exact judgment text and custody calculations remain uninspected.
