Trials of Jesse: Biker to be frequent court figure

[June 15, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jesse James is getting his day in court. Quite a few of them, actually.

The biker businessman and estranged husband of Sandra Bullock was a fixture in a Los Angeles courtroom this week, where he's involved in dueling lawsuits with an apparel manufacturer.

James is expected to testify and the 41-year-old will likely attend all the proceedings. He spent two days watching and listening to jury selection -- a rare exercise for a sued celebrity.

He is also embroiled in a custody dispute in neighboring Orange County with his ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder. James had been expected to attend a hearing in that case next week, but it may be postponed.

Not to be forgotten, James is getting divorced from Bullock in Austin, Texas. No proceedings have been scheduled in that case.
