| Ted Stevens prosecutor commits suicide |
| 2010-09-28 |
| Ay Pee, so short version: One of the Justice Department lawyers involved in the prosecution of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (of the Bridge to Nowhere fame) had committed suicide. He was one of several lawyers involved in securing the conviction of Stevens for corruption - the conviction that was later set aside amid allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. The investigation into the actions of several of the prosecutors involved in the case is ongoing. |

| #5 Hmmm. Prosecutorial misconduct that causes a Republic Senator to become falsely tainted in the last weeks of an election, helping to change the political composition of the Senate and helping usher in Obamacare, and the stimulus, etc.... Now he feels such remorse after the ex-Senator's recent death that he offs himself, just when an inquiry might point to where the pressure actually came from to initiate the prosecution and hide the evidence, someplace more lofty in Washington perhaps?. Gee, is anyone looking very carefully into the possibility this wasn't suicide? It does have a certain Fosteresque scent to it doesn't it? |

| #3 Was the gentleman generally depressed, or was the choice to kill himself related to the case? If the former, this is sad, but unfortunately common. If the latter, a possible matter of concern depending on what about the case caused him to act. Bottom line, there isn't enough information here to know whether or not to be concerned. |
