Stevens Jury Catches Indictment 'Typo'
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 05:19 PM by struggle4progress
Jurors Find a Discrepancy With the Senator's Financial Disclosure Forms
By JASON RYAN
Oct. 27, 2008

After a string of errors in the trial of Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, jurors deliberating the case have found a small but crucial mistake in the case relating to the Republican's 2001 Senate financial disclosure form ... Prosecutor Nicholas Marsh said of Stevens, "If we inadvertently got a typo in there? He failed to list gifts from Veco, Bill Allen and others. It doesn't matter if he checked yes or no." ... Sullivan ruled .. that jurors must consider the evidence and testimony they have heard at trial to determine whether the government has proven the alleged offenses beyond a reasonable doubt ...

Expect wingnut screams. But the jury apparently decided he was guilty on all counts, even after finding this typo themselves
