BRIBED POL GETS BREAK

By ALEX GINSBERG

June 19, 2008

A Brooklyn appeals judge yesterday sprang disgraced ex-assemblywoman Diane Gordon from prison, issuing a stay of sentence that allows her to remain free until her appeal is decided.

Justice Steven Fisher ordered Gordon, 58, released on $100,000 bail from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester, where she was set to begin a 2-to-6-year sentence.

The former assemblywoman was convicted in April of promising to help a shady developer win a contract to develop a piece of city land, in exchange for an offer to build her a $500,000 home in a gated community.
