Rafferty's victim are not guilty!

Good news!

I have not seen an article or the case transcript, however, I heard that Kevin Raley was not guilty and prevailed on the skill vs. chance of poker argument.

I don't believe this is the same case but here is a ruling in PA.

9 News has an article on the case. Please digg the article, which includes signing up to digg. http://digg.com/world_news/Colorado_man_beats_gambling_charge_by_proving_poker_is_skill

Good news...

The case is scheduled for arguements at the Court of Appeals in June.

I will also editorialize a bit here. This is a very risky strategy for those that want to keep poker in the "gambling" definition. The presumption is the trial judge gets the ruling correct, especially to present a credible defense in a criminal trial. It would be more expedient to win this ruling and not to have to set up a defense on the issue of poker as a "skill" game, however, I think that the defense wins more than 80% of the time, anyway.
