Friday's DN: Fumo Plans A Pre-Prison Party

POSTED: Friday, August 7, 2009, 8:22 AM

PhillyClout hears former state Sen. Vince Fumo is planning a party before heading off to prison at the end of the month.

A grand jury has cleared cops videotaped punching and beating a group of men during a car stop after a shooting.  That raises some questions about the relationship between the District Attorney's Office and the Police Department.

And an attorney for Chris Wright, city Councilman Jack Kelly's former chief of staff, argues that he shouldn't go to jail after his conviction in February on federal corruption charges.  Wright is due to be sentenced Monday.
