MONTGOMERY: Defense attorneys in Alabama's gambling corruption trial said prosecutors have told them that their witnesses for the retrial won't include two lawmakers who wore wires for the FBI and engaged in a recorded conversation comparing black casino customers to "aborigines."
Defense attorneys said prosecutors revealed in a recent meeting that they don't plan to call Republican state Sen. Scott Beason of Gradendale and District Judge Benjamin Lewis of Dothan, who was a state representative from Dothan when he helped the FBI.
"They want to limit all the bad stuff that goes along with them," defense attorney Jim Parkman said Friday.
Laura Sweeney, spokesman for the Justice Department, declined comment.
