"Disgraced Attorney Tom Girardi to Face Trial After Competency Ruling"

Tom Girardi, the former lawyer featured on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has been declared competent to stand trial for embezzling $15 million from clients. Despite previous claims of incompetency, U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton has yet to release her order, pending attorney review for potential sealing. Girardi faces five counts of wire fraud and has also been indicted in Chicago for stealing from the families of Lion Air Flight JT 610 crash victims, with a separate competency update expected from U.S. District Judge Mary M. Rowland.
