The jury trial for former Senate president pro tem Mike Morgan, prominent attorney Martin Stringer and lobbyist Andrew Skeith is set to begin Feb. 13 in Oklahoma City federal court.
The new witness is Jerry Dale Cash, the former chief executive officer for Quest Resource Corp., Quest Energy Partners and Quest Midstream Partners.
He was sentenced in November 2010 to nine years in federal prison for misappropriating $10 million in company funds for his personal use.
Cash now is claiming Stringer made a confession to him about the bribery case, according to court records. The two were social acquaintances.
Prosecutors disclosed Cash's claim to defense attorneys Jan. 5.
Upset defense attorneys now are demanding records so they can find out more about how Cash came to be a “star” witness in the case. They have told a judge Cash is fabricating his claim.
