Northern Conviction

Umm, what was that about Alaskan values? Senator Ted Stevens was found guilty on all counts by a Washington, D.C. jury composed of eight women and four men. And despite some jury issues, Stevens, still at large on bail, declared that he will fight the verdict to the bitter end. The verdict comes down just days before the election, and while Sarah "Bolt Action" Palin called it a sad day for Alaska, it may well be a good day for the judicial process.
