To the prosecution in his federal wire fraud trial, disgraced lawyer Tom Girardi ran 'a ponzi scheme.' His defense attorneys say he was the victim of a thieving colleague. A jury will soon decide.
A victim of a gas explosion that killed his girlfriend. A client injured by a medical device. A woman who lost her husband in a boating accident. Another whose 1-year-old son who became paraplegic after a drunk driver hit the family car. They had all gone to Tom Girardi's law firm, trusting and believing that he would help them get the settlements they deserved, Asst. U.S. Atty. Ali Moghaddas told jurors in closing arguments Monday.
Selberg said she desperately needed the nearly $300,000 she was owed to pay bills, including property taxes. Josefina Hernandez, who was waiting on settlement funds related to her pelvic mesh lawsuit, said her bank account was in the red. Saldana said her family needed it to buy a new house with more space for her son.
