Sen. Begich Statement on Dismissal of Stevens' Case

Sen. Mark Begich released the following statement today after U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan dismissed the case against former Sen. Ted Stevens:

"Nobody should have to go through a trial with so many problems and errors by the prosecutors. I believe the judge in this case has looked at all of the evidence, all of the activity that occurred, and has made the right decision. I support the move by the judge to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the full extent of the case.

"I have always said I respect the service Sen. Stevens gave to our state and our country for 40 years and that respect remains today."
