James had just been declared bankrupt yesterday due to excessive gambling. After selling his house and belongings to pay off his debts, he led a nomadic life from now on. However, his rash attitude got him into trouble. When he was denied access to a high-class hotel due to his ragged clothing and appearence rudely by the hotel manager, he felt furious that the hotel did not welcome him and smashed a flowerpot over the manager's head. Unknown to him, the manager had died due to a stroke and James was arrested for liquidation of the manager. Even though James did not mean to kill the manager, the court allerged that he was culpable due to his lack of control for his emotions.
