Roger Bedford is a Democrat Senator that has represented the 6th District since 1994 .
Bedford received 2 sizable and very interesting donations for his 2006 campaign .
A.E.A $72,000
Jim Folsom Jr Campaign $50,000
Bedford is the sponsor of SB380,the bill that much of the 65 page indictment is centered around .
Bedford represents and area that wouldn't appear to support gambling .
SB380 doesn't seem to award ANY advantages to Bedford's district .
Page 59 of the indictment shows that McGregor made 5 calls from Nevada to Alabama on 3-16-2010 & 3-17-2010
3-16-2010
Call 1 was to " another gambling facility operator in Alabama " concerning pro-gambling legislation.
Call 2 was to indicted co conspirator Thomas Coker concerning concerning pro-gambling legislation and Senator PREUITT'S vote
Call 3 was to " the head of the Alabama Education Association ( HUBBERT ) concerning concerning pro-gambling legislation and Senator PREUITT'S vote
3-17-2010
Call 1 was to indicted co conspirator Thomas Coker concerning concerning pro-gambling legislation and Senator PREUITT'S vote
Call 2 was to the sponsor of SB380 ( BEDFORD )concerning the need to gather votes in support of the bill .
On at least 10 separate occasions Crosby communicated via email or "instructed an employee of the Legislative Reference service" to transmit correspondence to McGregor or his lawyers changes to SB 380 .(pages 35-38)
Evidence will reveal that McGregor and his legal team WROTE this bill to give them every possible advantage .
Are reasonable people expected to believe Bedford had no knowledge of this ?
Are reasonable people expected to believe Bedford was oblivious to it all and so stupid he failed recognize that the wording of the " amended copies "of the SB 380 bill given to him by Crosby were corrupt and custom tailored to McGregor ?
Will the DOJ make an offer to Crosby to implicate Bedford?
One would certainly thinks this is the VERY FIRST offer made .
Luckily Bedford has a few avenues available to him .
Folsom
Hubbert
Prediction : Bedford will be named in the new indictments , and will co operate with the DOJ and supply evidence on a few " BIG FISH "
