VECO employee Dave Anderson, nephew of former VECO CEO Bill Allen, told jurors in the public corruption trial of Sen. Ted Stevens that he was testifying without a formal grant of immunity. He now says he had an immunity agreement with prosecutors and that he “would not have given the same testimony” without it (we briefly discussed his testimony here). His new statements came in a November 15 letter to US District Judge Emmet Sullivan and attorneys for both sides, and were publicly disclosed yesterday in a defense filing that accused prosecutors of suborning perjury.
Prosecutors filed a response later yesterday, saying they have proof that Anderson’s new statements are false and proof of “Mr. Anderson’s collusion with an interested party in the preparation and transmission of Mr. Anderson’s letter.” (WaPo)
