Lee Pace as John DeLorean in Driven

Howard Weitzman, who has defended some of the biggest stars including Michael Jackson.

A master practitioner of the courthouse-steps news conference, he often made his case in the court of public opinion. He also made lawsuits disappear. He shot to national fame with his defense of John DeLorean, the flamboyant automobile executive who was accused of cocaine trafficking. In a 1984 trial during which the jury heard audiotapes of DeLorean making incriminating statements, Weitzman demolished the credibility of a key informant, arguing that the FBI had entrapped his client, and won an acquittal.

With cable television in its infancy, Weitzman was one of the first lawyers to face round-the-clock television coverage of a big trial. He quickly turned it to his advantage, addressing the news media - and the court of public opinion - from the front of the courthouse.

One of his most famous clients was Michael Jackson, whom he represented against allegations of sexual abuse and against claims involving his tangled estate. He also prevailed on appeal in 2020 in a case against the Jackson estate brought by Quincy Jones, Jackson's longtime producer, over unpaid royalties; his win reduced the state's liability to roughly $2.5 million from $9.4 million.

As aggressive as he could be in court, he came to prefer settling cases out of court. He graduated from the University of Southern California and entered law but left his practice in 1995 to work as vice president of corporate operations for Universal Studios. He later said that his experience at Universal had helped him better evaluate whether to take a case to trial. "I was always more inclined to draw lines in the sand," he said. "Now I try to avoid the actual trial and resolve it short of litigation."

He and attorney Johnny Cochran Jr. joined Jackson's legal team in 1993 to represent him against Jordie Chandler, a 13-year-old boy who said Jackson molested him.

They ended up settling, and Tom Mesereau, who also defended Mike Tyson and Bill Cosby, would go on to defend Jackson in the 2005 trial against Gavin Arvizo.

Pontiac Banshee XP-798 Concept, 1966. A proposal created under John Z DeLorean for a Pontiac to compete with Ford's Mustang. It was powered by Pontiac's 421ci V8. Access was again by roof panels that rose as the door pivoted outwards. General Motors had other ideas and Pontiac's Mustang competitor was shared with Chevrolet, in the form of the Firebird.

Every time I see a cybertruck I just think that Elon Musk wants to be John DeLorean so bad.

Wacky futuristic sci-fi looking car that only comes in shiny steel-grey? Be so incredibly for real. You will never be the delorean.
