His long tenure in the Senate was terminated when he was convicted on 7 counts of providing false testimony before a Federal Grand Jury (the conviction was later vacated by Attorney General Eric Holder).

I never much cared for the politics of Ted Stevens, however it is truly unfortunate that he has passed in this manner, if indeed that is the case.
