NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – The Benson family is still fighting over who will inherit Tom Benson’s sports empire. Hearings over his mental state continued Wednesday.
On Tuesday, his daughter Renee Benson and his granddaughter Rita Benson LeBlanc testified. Renee was reportedly on the stand for hours. Rita returned to the stand Wednesday morning. Her brother Ryan is expected to testify next, followed by a doctor, chosen by the LeBlanc family.
WGNO anchor Jacki Jing has been following the case closely and spoke with legal analyst Craig Mordock about why Renee and Rita took the stand for so long, why he says the LeBlanc’s have a tough case and why they have to prove Benson is incompetent without a doubt.

These hearings were expected to wrap up this week but are taking longer than expected, so they may go into next week.
