Disbarred attorney Tom Girardi’s age and mental decline did not help him avoid conviction last month on charges that he stole millions in client funds. During a press statement in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles on August 26, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada emphasized that Girardi’s advanced age would not deter his office from seeking prison time. However, it remains an open question how these factors will affect his sentencing, which is set for December. For more details, please refer to the original article.
