[quote=McGuyver;220755] In this country EVERYONE is Innocent until proven guilty (accept O.J.). And because of that, unless you are convicted, nothing should be held against you.

This is the most naive thing I have seen in a long time! Thats how things are supposed to be but unfortunately the reality here is that being accused of something in this day and age is just as bad as being guilty.

Now, if I were you I would try a couple of different approches to sloving your issue.

1. Don't lie about it to anyone (as stated before)
2. Approach the casino manager if possibile. Explain your situation and the facts, take responsibility for the event and ask for forgiveness. Maybe the casino will drop the charges.
3. If two above fails, have the lawyer keep fighting it and if your found guilty then appeal it. Keep fighting because no establishment wants to spend money on legal fees persuing such a non-event.

Thats were I would start. Hope it helps.
