As I have previously discussed, the saga of the Tom Benson estate battle between him and his daughter has taken another turn. Renee Benson, in an attempt to bring attention to the case, asked a federal court to open the trial to the public at least in part. However, the district judge ruled that it would violate the privacy of Mr. Benson and reveal confidential secrets on the two New Orleans sports franchises he owns. I will keep you updated on this story as it develops.
