Defense attorneys in Alabama's gambling corruption trial are trying to discredit testimony that Country Crossing casino developer Ronnie Gilley gave against the six defendants.
Under questioning by defense lawyer Walter McGrowan, Gilley testified Friday he offered his lobbyist a 1 percent interest in his Dothan casino if the lobbyist would lie about them promising bribes to legislators for their votes on pro-gambling legislation. Both ended up pleading guilty and helping the prosecution.
Gilley also admitted he inflated attendance figures for his Bama Jam music festivals and said the three festivals never made a profit even though he described them as the world's largest country music festivals. Gilley also said he wrongly told one potential investor that he had more than enough votes to pass the gambling bill even though he didn't.
