PHILADELPHIA (AP) - January 8, 2009
Agent Brian Nichilo says the state grant paid for thousands of
dollars spent on home repairs, hardware and even Sports Illustrated
for Kids. The 65-year-old Fumo then had a young daughter.
The Philadelphia Democrat is charged with defrauding the state
Senate, the South Philadelphia charity and a museum of more than
$3.5 million. He has pleaded not guilty.
Jurors on Thursday heard Fumo in a 2004 "Radio Times"
interview say he got no money or benefits from the charity.
The defense is expected to start its case later this month.
