Lawyers for Senator Ted Stevens filed a handful of motions today to dismiss the charges against him. Stevens faces seven counts of lying on his Financial Disclosure Forms to cover up $250,000 worth of gifts from the oil field services company VECO. He’s scheduled to go on trial in Washington, DC next month. The accelerated schedule Stevens’ lawyers requested means the motions are coming all at once.
