Stevens also risks jail time. The seven felonies each carry a penalty of five years in prison, though it’s unlikely a significant prison sentence, if any, would be imposed on an 84-year-old, first-time offender with a long record of public service and a longer list of character references.
"It’s not over yet!" Stevens said angrily to his wife as he walked from the courtroom Monday afternoon.
"You’ve got that right," Catherine Stevens replied as she reached for him through the crowd of supporters rushing past reporters for the door.
"Not over yet," Stevens said.
Regardless of his difficulties and the likelihood of not being re-elected because of them, Stevens plans to return to campaigning Wednesday.
