MONTGOMERY — The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling to keep machines and money seized in a raid last month on a White Hall gambling center and cleared the way for another raid if the task force chooses. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court granted Gov. Bob Riley's request to stay an order issued in the Lowndes County case by retired Justice Mark Kennedy. Kennedy's order had required the governor's task force to return more than 100 machines and more than $500,000 seized in a raid March 19. Kennedy had also shielded the White Hall Resort and Entertainment Center from another raid, pending the outcome of the case. Gov. Bob Riley said the Supreme Court righted a wrong.
