Absolutely agree. The RC case against El Cortez made him some money. And, I’m glad he won. But, he has said that he purposely provokes bad behavior. Now that may have been post-case braggadocio. And, that case was long ago. And El Cortez is a very old, small casino not known for having the greatest technology. Had they Maryland Live's technology, I think RC may have lost that case. Just my opinion.
Provocation of violence is not a valid defense of violence. But, juries/judges don't like people that provoke. So, in a civil case, even if you prove some violence against you, if it appears that you deliberately provoked the violence, but didn't prove adequate injury, you may win. You may win a judgement of $1. Videos cut both ways.
