Lobbyist on stand in gambling trial for 7th day

Country Crossing casino lobbyist Jarrod Massey is scheduled for his seventh day of testimony in Alabama's gambling corruption trial.

Massey admitted Thursday that he has lied in the past about the gambling issue. But he said he is telling the truth in court to avoid a perjury charge. Defense attorneys will continue questioning him Friday in an effort to challenge his credibility as a witness.

Massey pleaded guilty in December to offering bribes to legislators. He is testifying in a red jail uniform because he's already behind bars.
