No. Are you naive enough to think that a person has to commit a crime to be put on trial?

Ted Stevens was the testimony of a witness which was in direct contradiction to what this same witness had told investigators in an earlier interview. If you were so privy to all of the “pocket lining” that Stevens did while he was serving the people of Alaska for 40 years, why weren’t you called as a witness at the trial? Last I heard, a defendant is still presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty, which, because of prosecutorial misconduct, has not been done in this case. Let’s also not forget that this man (or “skeezeball,” as you call him) probably would have been re-elected were it not for the deliberate smearing of his name perpetrated by the prosecutors and abetted by the media. I sincerely hope that I am never tried before an all-liberal jury.<br /> Sincerely,<br /> RickBull</p> Christy:
