10:20 a.m.
A court-appointed defense lawyer says a former Las Vegas Strip casino card dealer will seek leniency and a chance at parole when he is sentenced for killing a resort executive and wounding a co-worker at a company picnic in 2018.
Attorney Joseph Abood said Thursday it was in Anthony Wrobel’s best interest to plead guilty before trial to murder in the shooting of Venetian casino executive Mia Banks and attempted murder for injuring co-worker Hector Rodriguez.
Wrobel is due for sentencing Nov. 21.
Wrobel won’t face the death penalty but his plea agreement says he will go to prison and could face up to life without the possibility of parole.
Abood says he’ll seek a minimum sentence with parole eligibility after 21 years.
