Week three of the bribes for bingo retrial starts this week.
Recordings from defendants stunned the courtroom during week two of the federal corruption trial. Casino developer Ronnie Gilley was the last witness to take the stand.
Gilley was one of the big stories of the first full week of the federal corruption trial. He detailed his bribes to the three current and former state senators on trial: Larry Means, Jim Rreuitt and Harri Anne Smith. He also said that Milton McGregor was the brains and the cash behind the conspiracy to buy ‘yes' votes on SB380.
Defense attorneys were quick to point out how Gilley is cooperating with prosecutors to get a reduced sentence. He even told his wife from a Montgomery Jail phone he needs to make sure the defendants go down for him to stay out of prison.
The court takes the day off for President's Day.
