"Disgraced Attorney Tom Girardi to Stand Trial, Declared Competent by Court"
Tom Girardi, the estranged husband of 'RHOBH' star Erika Jayne, has been declared competent to stand trial for allegedly embezzling millions from clients. Facing multiple counts of wire fraud, Girardi could receive up to 20 years in prison for each count. The indictment accuses Girardi and his law firm's accountant of a decade-long scheme to defraud clients, which has been highlighted in the Hulu documentary "The Housewife and the Hustler." The case is particularly notable as Girardi was the attorney in the famous case against Pacific Gas & Electric, which was depicted in the film "Erin Brockovich."
