Arkansas bankers trial witnesses attack star witness credibility
In Little Rock the Whitewater trial features defense witnesses challenging Neal Ainley, former Perry County Bank president, claiming he would say whatever prosecutors want. Ainley had testified against owners Herby Branscum Jr. and Robert M. Hill, and Bruce Lindsey, an aide to President Clinton. Lindsey named an unindicted co conspirator. Witness Gary Butler recalls Ainley saying plea deals lead to lying under pressure. A second carpenter, Billy Fox Jones, echoes the sentiment about men under pressure.
