Prosecutors entered this photograph of teacher Lisa Percoco into the record during the corruption trial of her husband, Joseph Percoco, the former right-hand man of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. From 2012 to 2016, the energy company Competitive Power Ventures paid Mrs. Percoco $90,000 a year for what the government has characterized as "low-show" work that was actually a bribe to her husband. Mrs. Percoco also received a $35,000 check from COR Development, a real estate company that also sought gubernatorial action.
