Prosecutors Friday said Harris County Pct. 6 Victor Trevino diverted "thousands and thousands" of dollars from his charity to put in slot machines at a Louisiana casino with his family and buy Lotto tickets. Harris County prosecutor Bill Moore told jurors in opening statements of Trevino's trial on charges of financial misconduct that the long-time East End constable directed his bookkeeper to forge the signature of authorized signer and had deputies cash the checks at convenience stores. Defense lawyers for Trevino told jurors that the bookkeeper, not the constable, is the person who should be on trial.
