In a major twist of fate, a federal judge today set aside the conviction of Alaska Republican Senator Ted Stevens and then appointed an independent investigator to look at possible misconduct on the part of prosecutors.
“In nearly 25 years on the bench, I’ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I’ve seen in this case,” Judge Emmet Sullivan said. Reportedly the federal prosecutors withheld evidence from Steven’s defense team.
I am not sure I would have believed this story if I had not read it for myself. A Western Pennsylvania mom was recently charged after allegedly drugging her 13 year old daughter so that the mom’s boyfriend could rape and impregnate the girl.
It seems that good old mom was having trouble conceiving. So she got it in her head that it might be a good idea to have the daughter become the surrogate. Mom obviously was not thinking clearly.
The boyfriend was also charged with several counts of attempted rape.
In a world full on constant change, nothing is certain. Hang on. Should be a fun ride.
