    Marco Marco v. Erika Jayne (Pt 1)

    Marco Marco v. Erika Jayne (Pt 1)

    In this three part series, we are covering a lawsuit Erika's former costume designer filed against her, the secret service, her assistants, and American Express. We think the complaint gives the best overview of what occurred (excerpt below) so in this episode we read through half of it and provide our thoughts.
    This case reflects the corruption of the federal judicial system by Secret Service agents who conspired with Defendant Erika Girardi, a well-known television personality and theatrical performer, her assistants and employees, Defendant Laia Ribatallada and Defendant Michael Minden, Defendant AMEX, and its employee,
    Defendant Peter Grimm. All Defendants agreed and conspired to maliciously prosecute Chris Psaila for alleged wire fraud and identity theft claiming Chris Psaila defrauded Erika Girardi by charging her AMEX card with false charges for goods and services under his business Marco Marco.

    Girardi is Competent to Stand Trial: A Public Defender Weighs In

    Girardi is Competent to Stand Trial: A Public Defender Weighs In

    We are doing something different today and interviewing a member of our legal team, Monica Nguyen. Monica is a Deputy Public Defender that specializes in competency and has been working solely in mental health for 15 years. Monica digs into the court's decision on Tom Girardi's competency and provides her opinion, based on her experience, of the decision and what the court could have addressed further. Monica can be found on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthlawyer/
    As an initial note, this is not at all to defend what Tom did, but rather is an opportunity to consider the order from a different perspective with an attorney who is experienced in the subject matter. This is not our practice area so when we can rely on members of the legal team who do practice in the area, we want them to share.

Sandoval Admitted He Recorded Rachel

In the last episode Sandoval admits that he recorded Rachel without her consent at her apartment because he wanted her to know how “beautifully” she was. Did you not watch the show?! Why say “if”. Just watch it already!

Improvements

It’s so weird how one of the hosts thought she was so right about how the girardi hearing and then seemingly won’t accept the court’s findings through the podcast. It’s such a weird take on the Tom girardi situation. Like she witnessed one day of testimony and won’t accept that what the court made its decision on is a wider set of evidence? It’s such a strange take from a barred attorney.
