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.
He can always run again in 2014 if he gets his conviction tossed. Maybe his daughter if not him?
I’ve said before.. this was a case of a guilty man being framed by a “win at all costs” prosecution.
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.
