Stevens' Charges Dismissed, Prosecutors Now Facing Investigation

It looks like there was criminal activity involved in the Ted Stevens prosecution - not on the part of the defendent but on the part of the prosecutors:

WASHINGTON — A federal judge dismissed the corruption conviction of former Sen. Ted Stevens on Tuesday and took the rare and serious step of opening a criminal investigation into prosecutors who mishandled the case.

“In nearly 25 years on the bench, I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case,” U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said.

Sullivan appointed a special prosecutor to investigate Justice Department lawyers who repeatedly mishandled witnesses and withheld evidence from defense attorneys during the monthlong trial that ended with Stevens’ conviction in October.

Regardless of what Ted Stevens might have been involve in, he would have been the Senator from Alaska had he not been convicted in this phony prosecution. The Dems found a new way to steal an election, but maybe this time somebody will pay the price.
