vote purely on personal favour.


They got the results so wrong on phase I that it has already been overturned.

And even where it has not been overturned, Google are agreeing not to toss it
yet just so as to allow Oracle to be favoured because it is just such a
miniscule point it is not worth it.

Now watch Boies argue 9 lines of code which actually only contains 6 lines
(arguably 3) of possibly expressive content that would otherwise be barred by
merger/scenes into several hundred million dollars.

Because the extent of the jury deliberations will be, "google copied
something,
so oracle must be owed something, and google have got pots and pots and
pots of money"

In an effort to be more fair to the jury, given that the results are so far
detached from reality, it makes me wonder of there is not one or two people
among the twelve who have seen through the smoke and recognize this is not
a genuine legal dispute but a shakedown and are refusing to countenance a
verdict against Google.
