Series of Tubes Saved?

The Ted Stevens trial hit a snag yesterday. Star witness Bill Allen has been pummeling Stevens' credibility by admitting that he gave Stevens thousands of dollars in gifts that were never paid for or disclosed. Allen's testimony really makes this a simple case. But prosecutors failed to turn over the FBI reports in a timely manner, angering the judge and leading the defense to call for a mistrial. They're claiming that the prosecution is withholding evidence.

The judge sent the jury home and is hearing arguments from both sides. I don't think the case will be dismissed, but there is that possibility, I suppose.
