Default Ted Stevens conviction thrown out..

Just because Ted Stevens was convicted by less than honorable
prosecutors doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as hell -- and everyone
knows he was and is.

Why do you say that?
Last I heard guilt is determined by evidence and a verdict.
The feds withheld exculpatory evidence.
I don't like Stevens, but he seems no different than most of the pols.
Which is why I don't like him.
If the feds had a good case, they'd prosecute.

You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed
this up so it could be overturned later.


More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk.
