WASHINGTON -- A federal judge Wednesday denied Sen. Ted Stevens' request to move his corruption trial to his home state of Alaska, saying the lawmaker's plans to campaign for reelection risked improperly influencing potential jurors if the case were to be transferred there.

Lawyers for Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, sought the change because most of the 40 or so witnesses expected to testify are from Alaska. They said Stevens had a right to continue his reelection campaign, which would be easier if the trial was held in Alaska.

But U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said he was persuaded by the Justice Department's concerns that the publicity surrounding a senator who was running for reelection while on trial "could lead to a significant potential for jury tainting."

4. Thanks for Posting this - I'm no jury expert but...

... human instincts say to me that I hear complete denial and guilt in this voice and probably what you hear in a voice can be as powerful as what words are being used. The 'don't mess with me' attitude and his repeated indignance is very telling and a shave of what I have been seeing in many of the John McCain / Keating 5 videos on YouTube.

The basic premise that 'I'm being honest here' but then acting and sound dishonest are measures to be considered, just as a jury is asked whether the believability of a witness is part of whether you hold their answers in regard as truth.

Senator Ted Stevens should continue to talk. He's revealing what his constituents should really know about his truths or lies.
