Donald Sterling had a horrible day yesterday in court. His attempt to shut down the trial on its first day and move the case to federal court was rejected. When the case restarted in front of Judge Michael Levanas, Shelly Sterling's attorneys called Donald Sterling as their first witness, but he was nowhere to be found. When the trial continued, Judge Levanas rejected Donald Sterling's arguments to bar testimony from the doctors who examined him in May and certified that he was mentally incapacitated. The testimony from the first of those doctors, Meril Platzer, painted a devastating picture of Donald Sterling as indifferent to his advancing Alzheimer's Disease.
