Jury hears taped phone calls between Bill Allen and Ted Stevens

Jurors in the trial of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens listened this morning to three audio recordings of conversations between Stevens and former Veco CEO Bill Allen.  Allen is the government’s main witness, as prosecutors try to build a case that Stevens took more than 250-thousand dollars worth of gifts, mostly from Veco.  One of the alleged major gifts is the renovation of Stevens’ Girdwood home.
