Report: Dementia kept Sterling out of Clippers sale


Posted May 30, 2014 7:31 PM

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A person close to the Sterling family says Donald Sterling was stripped of his ability to act as a trustee of the family's fortunes, including the Los Angeles Clippers, after two neurologists determined he was suffering from dementia.

The individual, who is familiar with the trust and the medical evaluations but wasn't authorized to speak publicly, says Sterling was deemed "mentally incapacitated."

Shelly Sterling said in a statement Thursday that she agreed to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer "under her authority as the sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers."

Donald Sterling's attorneys contend that as a co-owner he must give his consent for the deal to go through. They say he won't be giving it.

His attorney, Bobby Samini, says "the assertion that Donald Sterling lacks mental capacity is absurd."

nice to know the world crucified or burned him at the stake.
1st. he got crucified for his private conversation in the privacy of his own domicile.
2nd. he got crucified for those words, while his deeds far outweigh those words.(so we live in a words where actions are less important then words?)
3rd those words where (presumably) made under the effects of dementia, hence he could not be made fully responsible for those words. I am not an expert on dementia but for all we know he could have thought it was the 1940's.


it is just sickening that we as a society judged and crucified in in the court of public opinion without knowing all the facts. judging him on a few minutes of words, instead of years of deeds.


so now i see all those people on their high horses are gone now. because it is not a hype, or trend anymore. moved onto the next big thing.
or they realized that the high horse they where sitting on is actually not a horse but a chair made of stinking horse manure.
