The tone changed when Masada, who owns the Laugh Factory club in Hollywood, was asked by Mesereau about comedian Louise Palanker, who testified last week. "She wants to be a comic," he said. "We help them. Sometimes you have to give them bad news." "You've told her she's not funny?" asked Mesereau. "Let me tell you," Masada said. "I find you more funny than she is." Masada said Palanker had been in touch with him since she testified and that she once referred to O.J. Simpson's acquittal in the 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend and Blake's recent acquittal in the 2003 slaying of his wife. "She said that you have made this court like O.J.'s court or Robert Blake's court, and you lied and changed the words around," Masada said. (see Witness Lashes Out at Jackson's Attorney)

Q. And the officer said, "Who do you believe to be the truth?" And your response was, "I think Jamie Masada is a pathological liar," right? A. Well it's difficult to say in that situation. I still don't know the truth, so it's difficult to say. Q. Well, let me ask you this, if you recall the conversation. I know you didn't know they were recording you. You could have responded, "I think David is a pathological liar," but you didn't. You said "I think Jamie's a pathological liar," right? A. Right. Q. And then the officer said, "Jamie is?" And you said, "Yes." Now, that's not just hyperbole, is it? A. Sometimes he confuses incidents. (see March 22 2005: Direct of Palanker + Cross-Examination | p3075-3076, lines 25-13)
