The judge in the criminal trial of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) refused a defense motion on Thursday to dismiss the case against the Senator after the prosecution admitted that it had failed to provide Stevens’ lawyer with evidence that could have aided his defense.
We were on pins and needles waiting for this, because earlier in the day, it looked like the federal prosecutors may have crumbed the play. They better not be so sloppy from now on.
Does the jury get informed of this mishandling or is it kept from them? I’d expect it will hurt the prosecutions case if they do know.
