Viacom’s Redstone may undergo medical exam in competency suit
The decision may provide investors with new information about Redstone’s capabilities. Geriatric psychiatrist Stephen Read will conduct the court-ordered mental examination within the next 10 days, said Pierce O’Donnell, an attorney for Redstone’s former girlfriend Manuela Herzer. Redstone’s attorneys have not indicated whether they will appeal, a development that could affect the schedule.
