WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors appealed to jurors Tuesday to summon their “common sense” and find Sen. Ted Stevens guilty of seven counts of hiding thousands of dollars in gifts, services and benefits on his annual Senate disclosure forms.
Defense lawyer Brendan Sullivan, however, accused prosecutors of offering a “twisted” account of Stevens’ life and said government investigators have exaggerated the case.
Jurors will officially get the case this morning.
