But, will they really put an 80 something guy in jail for very long?

His jail sentences may run 5 years or less, or miniscule.

But the real importance is that this comes 8 days before Stevens' re-election against his Democratic rival, who was neck/neck with him in the polls.

I doubt Alaskans will keep a guy who's a 7-count convicted felon.
