A jury found former Democratic Brooklyn Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr. not guilty of grand larceny Friday.

Prosecutors claimed Norman double billed his travel expenses and pocketed the money. The State Assembly and Kings County Democratic Committee both reimbursed him for a total of $6,000. Norman?s attorney argued it was a mistake.

Norman is due in court next month for the start of a fourth trial on additional charges. In January, a judge in a separate corruption trial sentenced the ex-assemblyman to a term of two to six years. Norman was convicted in his first two corruption trials.
