Later that day Schneiderman chaired a Codes Committee meeting, and the strangulation bill was on the agenda. Such meetings tend to move briskly — this one was over in half an hour — and there was little discussion of the strangulation bill by Schneiderman or anyone else. A recording available on the state Senate website shows Schneiderman briskly running through agenda items, dressed in a neat suit and tie, sipping coffee and often smiling. Strange to see his choking legislation go through the normal processes of government now that we know the accusations he would later face. But mostly he and his colleagues banter lightly about other issues, like legislation regarding the use of live fish in pedicures.
