I didn't read through all of this, so SIAP, but what is sad is the amount of time and money spent by the State of Alabama to investigate, raid and attempt to prosecute this issue that could have been spent elsewhere.
Hopefully, this will result in a vote to legalize some form of gambling in Alabama other than paramutual wagering at the dog tracks. The state, most cities and counties could certainly use some additional revenue, and people who are going to gamble are going to do so whether in Alabama or another state.
Last nights Powerball drawing was for $220 million, so I'm sure that Georgia got a few Alabama dollars towards their education fund.
On June 29th, the winning ticket for a $76 million Powerball ticket was sold just over the Georgia - Alabama state line on I-20.

You actually believe that these guys are not guilty?!?! They have several of them dead to rights on this shite and because the prosecution doesnt have what amounts to video evidence the juries hung.
This is a result of a real phenomenon in this country called the "CSI effect". Television has devalued circumstantial evidence to the point that people now think that its irrelevant when it is in fact, still evidence, and still relevant. If it wasnt relevant, it wouldnt still be admissible.
I'm sure WDE can elaborate more on this.
