Burkle was calling him on the cell phone during bathroom
breaks, warning him not to sign anything, Michael Jackson said.
Stabler wasn't happy, Jackson said.
"[Stabler] said, 'What's the problem? You're not down, you're
with the Jews now. You're not down with blacks anymore,'"
Jackson testified.
"It was unkind," Jackson added. "It was mean. It was
meanspirited. It was nasty. Simply because he couldn't get me
to sign something that he wanted me to sign."
The next time Jackson saw Stabler "he wanted to take my head
off." And his brother Randy wasn't too happy, either.
Randy later claimed that Jackson and his staff had run up a
$700,000 bill on his American Express card during the trial,
which Jackson said he would repay.
