Wasn't Ted Stevens supposed to be sentenced.

[Lemon law]

Usually, google is good at searches, but I can't find anything really current. Even Wiki has nothing current.

We all know he was convicted of seven felonies, he ran for re election anyway, lost in the close election, and is therefore no longer a Senator.

But there is that little minor detail, he was supposed to be sentenced by the Judge
last month. And if the judge awarded jail time on the if you do the crime, you do the time principle, that sentencing event was supposed to occur last month. Followed by a decision to order Stevens to report to jail or to leave him free on bond pending a formal appeal of the conviction on the part of Stevens.

I do know that the trial judge here is furious with the prosecution for various types of misconduct, but its still a somewhat side issue from the sentencing hearing which was supposed to have a date certain.

Can anyone tell us more about where thing stand now?

That somewhat answers it LTC8K6.

As for Judge Sullivan, he is using too damn much patience IMHO, I would have tossed some of those prosecutors in jail for contempt of court long ago when they blew off my original orders.

The Slam dunk may not be a solid as thought.

When the prosecutors start to withhold information, something stinks.

Stevens, who was found guilty on seven counts of filing false statements on his U.S. Senate financial disclosure forms, was convicted Oct. 27. Since then, though, the former Alaska senator's lawyers have filed several motions to outright dismiss his original indictment or to grant Stevens a new trial. Their motions have been based in part on allegations in a whistle-blower complaint by Anchorage FBI agent Chad Joy, and a witness in the case, Dave Anderson.

"A lot has happened since the verdict was returned in October," said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who during Tuesday's hearing largely dealt with housekeeping matters connected to the Joy complaint and a letter submitted to him by Anderson.
