Value of Witnes testimony?

Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 30 2012 @ 03:27 AM EDT

It's just a case of letting the case go through to it's completion. Google can
point that out in their summary to come (I expect that they will. Here in point
x, and see here in Oracle's evidence.) Google has a lot of law and facts to
hammer on, and juries know the difference between laws, facts, and tables.
Summary judgments are often overturned on appeal. Stopping this trial with a SJ
would lead to an appeal, which, if accepted, would result in a whole new trial,
copyrights, patents and compensation. Lots of time wasted for all.

It's legal doctrine at work

When Oracle request an appeal or a retrial, Judge Alsup and the appeals court
can use the legal doctrine of 'you're kidding, right?'.
