God, I love New York: John Sampson is the second member of the #nysenate to forfeit his seat because of a felony conviction this week.

If you're thinking, well, Sampson's making out here because he walked on six of the counts, don't bet on it:
Heaviest guilty conviction for Sampson carries sentence of up to 20 years, @NY1 reports.
