The federal trial over possible gambling corruption in the state of Alabama  could see a number of country music stars being called as possible witnesses in addition to former Alabama Governor Bob Riley.

The list of possible witnesses read to jurors this week also included George Jones, Lorrie Morgan and Randy Owen of the group Alabama. All three supported gambling legislation called `Sweet Home Alabama` – which is at the heart of the trial.

The nine defendants in that case are accused of buying and selling votes on the legislation.  Several are current and former Alabama Senators.
