Fumo's trial delayed a month

For state Sen. Vince Fumo, it's time to play the waiting game.

The Philadelphia Democrat's massive corruption trial has been delayed yet again, this time for a month while the presiding judge recovers from an illness, The Inquirer reports.

U.S. District Judge William H. Yohn Jr. sasid he had not yet recovered from what he has described as a virus. Yohn was noticeably sick lastweek during jury selection, The Inquirer reports.

Fumo is retiring from the First Senatorial District seat he has held for three decades to fight the 139-count federal indictment. Democrat Larry Farnese is running against underdog Republican Jack Morley to replace him.
