Judge Denies Ted DiBiase Jr.’s Mistrial Request Amid $77M Mississippi Welfare Fraud Case

TLDR

A federal judge has denied former WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase Jr.'s request for a mistrial in his $77 million Mississippi welfare fraud case, despite his lead attorney suffering a medical emergency. The court ruled that a new court-approved attorney will step in immediately while the trial remains paused until February 22, with DiBiase facing multiple charges including conspiracy, wire fraud, theft, and money laundering that could result in decades in prison if convicted.
