Appeals court upholds Bob McDonnell conviction.

An appeals court today upheld the corruption conviction of former Gov. Bob McDonnell.

"Appellant received a fair trial and was duly convicted by a jury of his fellow Virginians. We have no cause to undo what has been done," reads a ruling from three judges of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
