Jury selection is on hold as Charlie Adelsons new attorney says he is not waiving conflict of interest with his former attorney representing his mother, Dan Rashbaum.
The attorney says Charlie does not want Rashbaum or Donnas other attorney, Alex Morris, to cross examine him on the stand. His attorney says it violates his right to attorney client privilege and Rashbaums knowledge taints any ability to cross examine him partially.
Court is in recess and will reconvene at 10:30.
