Fumo Seeks New Corruption Trial
posted 07/02/09

In March, a jury found that the Philadelphia Democrat defrauded the state Senate, a charity and a museum of $3.5 million.
In court papers filed Thursday, defense lawyer Dennis Cogan says he discussed the case with a magazine reporter after the trial. He says reporter Ralph Cipriano told him he'd interviewed jurors and they knew during the trial about Fumo's previous prosecutions on corruption charges. He says one juror was getting updates from a co-worker on news coverage of the trial.
Fumo is free on bail until his sentencing, which is scheduled for July 14.
