Jury Sees 2 Sides Of Stevens
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: October 21, 2008
WASHINGTON - Jurors were offered conflicting views of Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens during a four-week corruption trial: a cantankerous but credible senator who didn't know he was being lavished with free gifts, or a sour-faced, scheming one who thought he knew how to quietly get undisclosed freebies.
Stevens completed three days of testimony Monday with lawyers still trying to convince jurors of their portrait of the longtime Republican lawmaker, who has been charged with lying on financial disclosure forms about $250,000 in renovations and other gifts he received from oil services contractor VECO Corp.
Closing arguments were scheduled for today and jurors were to begin deliberating Wednesday.
