WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the government's witnesses against convicted Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska now says he wasn't truthful on the stand.
David Anderson, who worked on Stevens' house for VECO founder Bill Allen, testified during the trial that there was no agreement with the Justice Department for immunity for him, his family or friends in exchange for his testimony.

You know... when you read the gory details of this case, it looks like there was a major effort to take down Stevens.
This is just another basis for him to appeal.
Mistrial.
Stevens is a case where is staff was pumping him full of sh== so they could keep their jobs, the man should have walked last year. Damned old fool.
He can always run again in 2014 if he gets his conviction tossed. Maybe his daughter if not him?
Check out the last line. Murder contract?
This guy seems pretty whacky.

Is the expression suborning perjury? Would that not be what the prosecution did if they allowed this to be spoken during the trial?
I’ve said before.. this was a case of a guilty man being framed by a “win at all costs” prosecution.

Chuckling. So in this case, we have the first recorded evidence that 2 wrongs can make a right?
If this is true, the prosecutors face disbarment and the conviction will have to be set aside for prosecutorial misconduct. This BTW was not the only allegation of wrongdoing by the prosecution...there were several occasions during the trial where the judge was furious with their behavior.

This case was malicious prosecution from the start.
Kept him in D.C. so he couldn’t campaign in Alaska and then proceeded with suspect evidence.
Needless to say, a jury in D.C. had it’s own reasons for convicting.
The song "That'll be the day... " can be heard from afar. Unfortunately. Lots of overzealous prosecutors lately, IMO.
Would the USDOJ suborn perjury? Only to cause a Democrat to win.
I agree with the win at all costs prosecution. And I think he was guilty of trusting the wrong people. I haven't seen enough to make me believe he was truly guilty of what he was convicted of, though (given the questionable nature of the prosecution and evidence).
yes
again, the Bush Department of Justice knocking off Republicans in office. I wonder if we’re in double digits yet. In 2006, the Bush DOJ managed to help Pelosi knock out a handful of GOP Congressman (and not just guilty ones) and has still yet to hold a trial for:
William Jefferson - Democrat, Congressman from Lousiana
Bush is like McCain in the sense that he is always happy to see Republicans be investigated or go to jail but won’t lift a finger to put a Democrat under even a whiff of suspicion if he can help it.
Bump, that!!
Where are all the Stevens HATERS? You were so sure he was guilty. We now have a Democrat Senator from Alaska who, if you have ever heard him speak, is as “sharp as a bowling ball”. “Bowling ball that is.”
