Text: ¶ 65. The Commission asserts that the statutory structure gave her a full evidentiary hearing at which to testify and put on all evidence favorable to her claim, regardless of whether the agent failed to interview her. Moreover, CDS argues that the circuit court did not state what information material to the outcome of the investigation the agent would have discovered that he did not already have. As evidence in support of this argument, CDS refers this Court to the June 6, 1995 letter of Freeman's counsel to the Commission from which the agent knew the date of the incident; the location of the machine; Freeman's statement regarding what happened; her claim to having won the progressive jackpot; and what the casino personnel told her regarding the hopper jam. Finally, any injury arising from the agent's failure to interview Freeman was cured by the opportunity she was given at the de novo hearing to provide the trier of fact, the Hearing Examiner, with all evidence possessed personally and her witnesses.
