MONTGOMERY — The first witness in Alabama's gambling corruption trial says a deceased defendant never mentioned that he was getting $3,000 a month from casino owner Milton McGregor.
Montgomery “Monty” Feld supervised Ray Crosby before retiring in 2010 as assistant director of the Legislative Reference Service. He testified Friday that he talked with Crosby daily during their work as bill writers for the Alabama Legislature, but Crosby never mentioned the payments. Under questioning by McGregor's lawyer, Feld said he wouldn't have expected Crosby to mention the payments and he is unaware of Crosby doing anything out of the ordinary for McGregor.
The charges against McGregor include one accusing him of paying $3,000-a-month bribes to Crosby for help with pro-gambling legislation. McGregor's lawyers contend they were legitimate payments for consulting work.
