California Court of Appeal

Convictions on three counts of commercial bribery, in violation of Penal Code section 641.3(a), based on the premise that defendant Riley, who was the insurance broker for Pechanga Resort and Casino, paid bribes to defendant Robinson, who was the chief financial officer of the casino, in order to permit Riley to charge excessive fees for insurance products he obtained for the casino, are: 1) reversed where the evidence shows that Robinson was not employed by Pechanaga Resort and Casino as of the dates alleged in counts 6 through 9; but 2) affirmed as to the other counts where there is substantial evidence to support defendants' convictions on counts 4 and 5.
