Michael Jeffries, former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, is facing a sex trafficking trial. His lawyers argue he is mentally incompetent due to Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia. They claim he cannot understand the proceedings or assist in his defense, citing memory lapses and potential erratic behavior. Prosecutors argue his condition has improved after treatment and plan to present expert testimony to prove his competency. Jury selection is scheduled for October 26, and they may also present audio recordings related to the case.
