A federal appeals court on Friday rejected former TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau’s bid to overturn his conviction and 10-year prison sentence for having exaggerated the content of a weight-loss book he marketed through infomercials. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago found no basis to accept Trudeau’s claims that the government lacked enough evidence to convict him, his sentence was too long, and jurors were instructed improperly. Trudeau, 52, was appealing his November 2013 conviction by a Chicago jury over his promotion of the 2007 book “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You To Know About” in three 30-minute infomercials, which aired roughly 32,000 times.
