Donald Sterling to Shelly: 'Get away from me, you pig!'

Somehow, Donald Sterling was even more combative on Wednesday than he was on Tuesday.

In the third day of a trial in Los Angeles Superior Court that could determine whether he remains owner of the Clippers, Sterling railed against the NBA, his wife Shelly and her lawyers. He slammed his fist on the stand during examination and raised his voice when agitated, which was often.

It got to the point that when Shelly approached him after her testimony, Donald yelled at her to "get away from me, you pig." On the stand two hours earlier, he had said that she was beautiful, talented and that he was still in love with her.

Sterling’s testimony started when Shelly’s lawyer, Bert Fields, asked if he was retired. Sterling smirked and said, "I run five major corporations. You know I’m not retired."

That would explain his irrational behavior if it's true. Which I don't know if it is, because if it were he shouldn't even be in a trial setting to begin with. Unless that's what this current trial is about and I've just totally lost track of what's going on in this case.
