The Manzos: A Family Affair

Season 1, Ep. 56

We're tackling one of your most requested topics, the Manzos. The Manzo family mysteries all began with the gruesome murder of Albert Manzo's father in the 80s which was alleged to be at the hand of those in the mafia. Now, thirty years later, the Manzos cannot escape criminal allegations after Tommy Manzo, Dina's ex-husband, was charged in two separate crimes involving attacks on Dina and her new husband. Join us as we discuss the family's history and the criminal allegations.

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

    42:23
    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.
