Bill Robles observations:
Donald Sterling,Tuesday July 8 this afternoon, just before taking the witness stand, in his trial. His wife is sitting across the aisle on the opposing side. He was most interesting, funny, and I think dominated the courtroom. Also Bill found out that his cousin went to grammar school with Sterling, it is a small world!
From SB Nation
Donald Sterling, the ousted 80-year-old majority owner of the Los Angeles Clippers,
is nothing if not memorable. After a fiasco involving a racist tirade
caught on tape, his lifetime ban from the NBA, and the sale of his team
to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Sterling has taken his wife
Shelly to court in a last-ditch effort to save his stake in the $2
billion franchise. On Tuesday, Sterling testified in front of the
courtroom and things quickly spiraled out of control.
Several notable reporters were
in Los Angeles to cover the trial, including ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and
Arash Markazi, the L.A. Times' Bill Plaschke and Nathan Fenno and the
Orange County Register's Dan Woike. Sterling's cross-examination by
veteran barrister Bert Fields was the main show of the evening, which
got weirder and weirder as the day wore on.
