Exactly right.

I've always thought that if an innocent man went to jail because of a
prosecutor's misconduct, the prosecutor should be jailed for as long as
the innocent person was. That would cut down on this type of crap.

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.
There were mounds of evidence against him, that's why he was
convicted. From all accounts, his guilt or innocence would not have
been affected by what was withheld.
Why was it withheld? Were these prosecutors afraid that the withheld
evidence would provide reasonable doubt?

Read about the charges and proof and you'll find the situation pretty
damned obvious. Uncle Ted was on the take in a big way. That he's no
different than other pols isn't a defense against prosecution or
conviction.
Charges are not convictions.

You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed
this up so it could be overturned later.
More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk.
Agreed but worth a moment of fantasy. Wouldn't be the first time
prosecutors screwed things up on purpose.

Hey, remember JPS said "By all accounts".. Of course it would not be
the first time he was found to be making things up as he went along
snerk...

He comes around every once in a while when a gun jumps up off the shelf
and kills some people all by its inanimate self.

He is a fun to bitch slap for a few days and then he leaves.


I'll come around one year and find that one of you idiots has gone
bezerk and shot up his former employer or killed your wife.


It was a hunting accident, I swear.

I'm happily watching your chosen party shrink into a ball of quivering
goo while a real man with a brain leads us back out of the woods.


A real man? Real men don't talk like cheese eating surrender monkeys.
(Let's see if you understand the context of this statement)

The **** you support is backwoods, backwards and just plain ****in'
stupid.


Personal responsibility is backwoods, backwards and just plain ****in'
stupid.

The bank hasn't repossessed my cars nor have the foreclosed on my house.

Your kind is on the decline, thank God.


I would appreciate it if you would tell me how you enjoy waiting in line
for your medical care, your food, your clothing and your job.

Until then, this is the easiest place to find relics like you and spit
in your faces.


The USA was not built by men standing in line with their hand out
waiting for the government to fill it with their next day's sustenance.

Sweet dreams.


Soon that's all you will have is dreams. I want my children's dreams to
turn into reality.

What charges and evidence brought forward were damning and conclusive.
I don't know what was withheld or what effect it may have on the case
but it was clear he was caught red handed.


It was exculpatory evidence from the governments primary witness. You
really do need to be better informed about the subjects your offer
opinions and arguemnts about.

When the prosecutors withhold evidence you can only conclude that the
either the prosecutors are idiots or that they were afraid the withheld
evidence would have sunk their case.

You've got to be kidding. Justice Department officials and Republican
politicians specifically asked Republican appointed prosecutors to try
cases against Democrats in front of elections as a tool to supress
support.

How many refused and how many complied?

this up so it could be overturned later.

You mean Republican prosecutors in Alaska prosecuting a senior
Republican senator from Alaska aren't perfect.


Are you under the delusions that the entire federal governments
workforce is replaced each time a new president is elected?

Bureaucracy is the word of the day

fun lets view its meaning with the word entrenched as an adjective. You
know entrenched bureaucracy.

You are a funny man.

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.

So justice is no longer blind?

You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed

Career prosecutors (aka Democrats).


They were Republican appointees, certainly not Democrats.


Are you sure? Or were they career civil servants? You had better do some
checking.

Well, there's part of the difference. Repubs get busted and convicted,
Dems get put in charge of the purse strings of the organization
investigating them so the investigation can be squashed....
