A former Las Vegas Strip casino card dealer intends to seek a chance at parole when he’s sentenced for killing a resort executive and wounding a co-worker at a company picnic in 2018, a defense lawyer said Thursday. Anthony Wrobel decided it was in his best interest to plead guilty before trial to murder in the shooting death of Venetian casino executive Mia Banks and attempted murder for wounding co-worker Hector Rodriguez, court-appointed defense attorney Joseph Abood said. The plea agreement by the 44-year-old Wrobel says he could face up to life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
