Wowser. Land of the free? Rule of law? He may be an a-hole, but this still feels a nit kangaroo courty.

"Freedom of Speech" does not mean "Freedom from Consequences"!
Try saying anything you want to your boss and see if freedom speech will keep you from getting fired. Sterling was a member of private organization with laws he agreed to when he joined. The laws specifically said any action that causes harm to the organization is grounds for expulsion from the group. Whether he intentionally said it to the public or in private, it still got out and cause financial damage or potential damage to the organization.

Before taking the stand, he kissed his wife and then testified that he loved her. But the following day when she approached him in court he yelled, “get away from me, you pig!”

The whole problem of his behavior and speech stems from the symptoms of his dementia.

Agreed. His 180° change between one day and the next with regards to his in-court attitude towards his wife indicates he has some serious mental issues (besides the bigot issues that started this whole thing).

The volatility of his behavior is due to dementia. His behavior in general, however, is due to him being a racist, misogynistic subhuman.

doctors found he had signs of Alzheimer’s disease and couldn’t manage his affairs.

I still think all if this was planned, he is there to make money so I don't believe he "slipped" with his racial comments.

The lawyers will keep the legal battle going indefinitely as they stand to make a tidy profit via ongoing litigation, even after the old man dies. To tthink it's over is very nearsighted.
