Jurors in Ted Stevens' corruption trial discovered a mistake in the Alaska senator's indictment today, an embarrassing gaffe for Justice Department prosecutors that could benefit the senator.


Details.

And the jury still found him guilty.

The current version of the article doesn't mention the error. What happened?

"But the July 29 indictment against him contains an error not noticed by prosecutors. The Justice Department said Stevens had failed to declare any gifts he received in 2001, which would be listed on his annual Senate financial disclosure report from filed in 2002.

The indictment specifically stated that Stevens had checked the "no" box on the form, when, in fact, he had checked "yes."
Stevens, however, declared receipt of a $1,100 commemorative coin from the Special Olympics during 2001.

The jury, which restarted deliberations in the case Monday after Judge Emmet Sullivan replaced one of the jurors over the weekend, sent a note to the judge seeking guidance on how to proceed."

Isn't that just one of the counts they convicted him on?

That was my understanding. There was a typo in one count.
