Description
The states evidence consisted primarily of a series of tape recordings of telephone conversations between defendant and a man by the name of Herbert "Speedy" Newman. Mr. Newmans phone had been tapped under a court order based on information provided by the Governors Organized Crime Commission. Defendants phone was not tapped. A witness for the state, qualified as an expert in commercial gambling, explained the terminology of commercial gambling, including such terms as "the line," "over and under" bets, "parlay" bets and "teaser" bets. He also explained how commercial gamblers refer to given amounts of money. For example, a "nickel" means five hundred dollars. This expert then analyzed each of the taped conversations. He testified that twelve bets had been placed by Mr. Newman with defendant on football games during a three-week period in late 1980 for a total of $26,500.
