The prosecution's key witness in the criminal trial of State Senator Jim Bates of Edinburg today said he agreed to testify because he believed Bates wanted him killed. Adrian Lambert--a convicted murderer-- earlier told a Corpus Christi jury that he sold 36 stolen diamonds to Senator Bates for $4,400. Bates is on trial for receiving and concealing stolen property.
