Fumo Appealing Conviction

Former state Senator Vincent Fumo is appealing his federal conviction on 137 corruption counts.

The 65-year-old Philadelphia Democrat cites insufficient evidence and a juror's online posts on Twitter and Facebook, among other issues.

Prosecutors plan to seek more than 10 years in prison for Fumo at his scheduled July 13 sentencing.

A jury convicted Fumo of defrauding the state Senate, a charity and a museum of more than $3.5 million.

He's free on bail.
