Mayor Eric Adams is the first modern-era New York City mayor to be indicted. But A. Oakey Hall, his little-known predecessor, faced criminal charges 150 years earlier.

Following his criminal indictment, The New York Times editorial board called for Mayor Eric Adams to turn over the keys to the city to "someone untainted."
