Asked why he didn't just pick up the phone and ask Gallo to change his design, he said it would have been "useless" to try. "Frankly, given his reputation, I didn't trust whatever he'd answer anyway." Jackson's flamboyant attorney, Fred Furth, a towering figure who strolled the courtroom corridors chewing on an unlit cigar the size of a flashlight, constantly jabbed at Gallo's "jug wine" reputation and drew a rebuke from the judge when he derided Gallo...
