I'm just going to address the casino thing real quick.. with the understanding that I have not watched the testimony yet from this morning and glimpsed at it yesterday, but mostly just looking to see where he spent his money LOL
I DO like going to the casino... by withdrawal amounts would be MUCH MUCH less than Chase's from what I have read in your awesome updates. BUT sometimes it's not about the amount that is being spent, it's about the over extending yourself (which seems to be the case with Chase, but want to see the evidence) I spend what I can afford to lose, period, and if I win and walk out with more, that's great! But that's me (and sometimes I would spend more, but that's why I have a hubby that reminds me I can't hahaha)
That being said, just because YOU don't use the ATM's there, doesn't mean other's don't. I do all the time, and sometimes I will take out say $60, with the intention of only spending $40 and leaving if I lose. Now, I'm not really buying what the defense is selling... UNLESS they can show that say... he took out $500, and that same day paid $400 cash for something else. I am not sure if they can do that, we won't know until they present their own case. I suspect they won't.
As for the time... I think a lot depends on if you are winning LOL I could easily spend hours at a casino if I was winning... but I also know when to take my winnings and leave. Not everyone has that control.
IMO the defense should just say "hey, he's got an addiction, just like someone that has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, it's a mental illness but it doesn't make him a killer".
JMO and sorry... this was longer than "just quick" haha
