Ex-CEO back in court in high-stakes divorce case


David, who retired as United Technologies' chief executive last year but remained chairman, wants a judge to enforce a 2005 post-nuptial agreement he made with Douglas-David to give her $43 million when they divorce.

"I think at its root it's very straightforward," David told a reporter. "There is an agreement."

Douglas-David, who says she has nearly $54,000 a week in expenses, wants the judge to declare the agreement invalid, saying she was coerced into signing it. She's seeking about $99 million — 30 percent of David's estimated $330 million fortune — and has requested $130,000 a month in alimony and nearly $390,000 in legal fees.

She also wants to keep expensive jewelry, two Mercedes-Benz automobiles, real estate in Sweden and assorted personal property.

Beslow asked David about the testimony he gave during the December deposition about his mistress, Wendy Touton.

"Did you state under oath that you did not recall anywhere on earth you had sex with Wendy Touton?" Beslow asked.
