Tom Girardi’s California trial began in August after he was indicted on counts of wire fraud in February 2023
The former attorney, 85, was found guilty on all four counts of fraud charges on Tuesday, August 27, according to the Los Angeles Times. The weeks-long trial concluded that he embezzled more than $15 million from various clients.
“Mr. Girardi and Mr. Kamon stand accused of engaging in a widespread scheme to steal from their clients and lie to them to cover up the fraud,” United States Attorney Martin Estrada said in a Justice Department press release at the time. “In doing so, they allegedly preyed on the very people who trusted and relied upon them the most — their clients. Actions like the ones alleged in the indictment bring disrepute upon the legal profession and will not be tolerated by my office.
Despite his ongoing legal woes, the February 2023 indictment marked the first time Tom had been charged with a crime. Jayne, meanwhile, has not been accused of any criminal offenses. In January, Us Weekly confirmed that U.S. District Judge Josephine L. Stanton ruled that Tom was competent to stand trial in California despite his diagnoses.
