Judge Josephine Staton separates Tom Girardi from co-defendant Chris Kamon, allowing him to face trial alone on federal embezzlement charges.

Judge Josephine Staton has ruled that estranged "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" husband Tom Girardi will face trial alone on federal criminal charges of embezzlement, separating him from co-defendant Chris Kamon. The judge found that the defense strategy of Girardi's former bookkeeper would likely bias the jury against him, and his trial is set for Aug. 6 in Los Angeles.
