Jim Abernethy was indicted for commercial bribery in violation of Alabama Code 1975, § 13A-11-120; unlawful trade practice in violation of Alabama Code 1975, § 8-19-5; and tampering with a sports contest in violation of Alabama Code 1975, § 13A-11-143. In the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama, a jury acquitted him of the first two offenses but found him guilty of tampering with a sports contest. Sentence was one year imprisonment and a $2,000 fine. This is an appeal from that conviction and is a case of first impression.
