It’s official – New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson has won his competency trial after the judge ruled in his favor, denying the petition by his heirs.
It all started earlier this year when Benson made some changes in who will take control of his empire upon his death. The 87-year-old’s initial plans were to grant ownership of his NFL and NBA franchises to his granddaughter, Rita Benson LeBlanc.
However, Tom announced that he would hand over command to his current and third wife, Gayle.
