Sean Oaks, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, was another victim of brutality at Harrah’s. The video shows security officers wrestling 17-year-old Andrea to the ground and handcuffing her, breaking her nose in the process.
The last time I saw or heard, we don’t beat people up for raising their voices or getting upset.”Īfter the incident, Andrea and Renee Binns were walking toward the elevators to go back to their room when security got involved once again. “No sane person can explain the conduct that we see in those videos,” said attorney Paul D’amato. Michael Maggiano was in trial and unable to attend the taping, but co-counsel Paul D’Amato spoke on behalf of the victims. On the tape, he can be seen raising his voice at front desk personnel then, security steps in and aggressively wrestles him to the ground. John Binns, a professional poker player, says the hotel wrongfully evicted him after two nights at the hotel because of a computer error. It was absolutely miserable,” said Renee Binns. The Binns, a family of three from Florida, were assaulted by a group of security guards while on vacation back in 2012. A number of Harrah’s Casino and Resort patrons recounted their nightmarish encounters with security personnel.
