Tom Benson’s Lawyer and Psychiatrist Testify in Competency Trial

I have previously discussed the Tom Benson competency trial.  Tom Benson’s attorney and psychiatrist have both recently testified on the stand.  Paul Cordes, who is the estate lawyer that helped Mr. Benson remove his daughter and two children from New Orleans Saints ownership positions, testified on Thursday to Benson’s mental soundness.  The final defense witness was Mr. Benson’s psychiatrist, Dr. John Thompson, who also testified on Thursday and will resume testimony today.
