Was city treasurer Albert Robles's threat and weapons case dropped, pleaded, or tried?

"The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday threw out former South Gate Treasurer Albert Robles� convictions on 25 counts of honest services fraud and money laundering, but upheld convictions on five counts of bribery."

"Albert T. Robles, the former treasurer of South Gate, California was convicted today on 30 felony counts related to a scheme in which he extorted city contractors in exchange for using his influence to steer projects to those paying the bribes."

"In 2002, he was tried on charges of making threats to then-state Sen. Martha Escutia and then-Assemblyman Marco Firebaugh, since deceased, but the jury was deadlocked and the charges were dismissed."

"The trial of ex-South Gate treasurer Albert Robles is underway."

"The ruling allows Robles to be retried on all but three counts, as to which the panel said there was insufficient evidence of any federal crime."

"A federal jury in Los Angeles found that Robles, 40, was guilty of 16 counts of "honest services" mail fraud, five counts of wire fraud, four counts of money laundering and five counts of bribery."

"holding that intervening case law does not call into question the constitutionality of his 2006 conviction on five counts of bribery, entailing solicitations of $1.8 million from bidders on contracts."

"Robles and Garrido are scheduled to be sentenced by United States District Judge Stephen V. Wilson on October 24."

"Robles, who was released from prison on Nov. 29, 2013, remains on supervised release."

"According to the Los Angeles Times, Albert Robles was indicted "on 39 counts of money laundering, bribery, wire fraud and public corruption.""

"Prosecutors argued that "he used his elected office and political influence to funnel money from city projects to family and friends between 1998 and 2003.""

"De La Torre testified in the trial against the former city treasurer."

"Robles was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison."

"The January 2003 recall ousted Robles from his position as City Treasurer, along with three of his allies on the City Council."

"Robles was found guilty of 30 counts felony bribery, money laundering and depriving the voters of South Gate of honest services."

"Robles was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after for masterminding a scheme to bilk $20 million out of the coffers of South Gate for his own personal gain."

"Robles attorney at the time argued that his statements were merely the kind of language typical of South Gate politicians and not literal threats."

"Robles, who is now 48, was released on November 29."
