From the [New York Post](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/state%5Fsen%5Fcarl%5Fkruger%5Fpleads%5Fguilty%5F1ouoIbbUn25Jhk5XyH6LhN?ref=bklyner.com#ixzz1h6hEqnvJ):

> Chocking back tears as he confessed to corruption charges, an emotional State Sen. Carl Kruger pleaded guilty today to four criminal counts that included bribery and influence peddling.

> The 62-year-old Brooklyn lawmaker unfairly helped a developer, a lobbyist and two hospital executives as part of the massive bribery scheme, federal prosecutors said.

> With his voice cracking at times, Kruger wiped away tears as he entered a guilty plea before a Manhattan federal court judge.

> “I apologize if I’m a little emotional over this,” he said.

> Kruger added, “I accept responsibility for my actions and I’m truly sorry for my conduct.”

> By entering a guilty plea, Kruger would automatically be expelled from the state Senate, where he’s served since 1994.

> Kruger resigned from office earlier today ahead of his plea deal.

> He will be sentenced April 26\. He faces 108 to 135 months behind bars.
