I think a reasonable argument could be made
that he is now favoring Oracle. It could be
because they are losing so badly. It could
be appeal issues, but it could be he's a bit
intimidated by Boies. He is allowing Oracle
to get away with quite a lot at the moment,
and there really is no way to say it's fine
for a judge to give in out of fear of an
appeal or because he thinks it won't matter.
Of course, it all matters.
What will he do if Boies is able to persuade
a jury to give millions for this nonsense? It
happened in the SAP trial. The judge thought
the jury had lost its senses and refused to let
their number stand, which is why there is now
a second Oracle v. SAP trial going on. So
for him to say, OK, give it a shot if you want
to, but it's a mistake is to back away from
his actual job, in my view.
We saw it also when Oracle was allowed to tell
the jury in a slide that the '104 patent was
approved 3 times, but Google isn't allowed to
tell them that it was also preliminarily found
invalid.
It's all tilting Oracle's way, and they still
can't win, but a judge isn't supposed to tilt.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
