Tom Girardi, the disbarred attorney and estranged husband of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Erika Jayne, was convicted on Tuesday of embezzling over $15 million from clients, including victims of serious accidents. The 85-year-old faced a federal jury in Los Angeles, which found him guilty of four counts of wire fraud after less than a day of deliberation. Prosecutors revealed that Girardi used the stolen funds to support a lavish lifestyle, including private jets and luxury memberships, while deceiving clients who sought his legal help in tragic circumstances. His sentencing is scheduled for December 6, where he could face up to 80 years in prison. Girardi's previous legal prominence was highlighted by his role in significant cases, including the one depicted in the film 'Erin Brockovich.' Despite his claims of mental incompetence due to dementia, the court found him capable of standing trial.
