The jury will have made him do it
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 21 2012 @ 05:17 PM EDT
The questions these jury has been asking reveal they failed to grasp important
technical concepts. Not to mention the simple instructions.

So yeah, the jury is ripe for getting overruled.

Maybe its a good sign
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 21 2012 @ 05:21 PM EDT
I'm extremely frustrated with the way this 2nd phase of the trial has
unfolded. But if Judge Alsup is too, maybe something good might still
come of it. I hope somehow he will be able to deliver justice in this
twisted case. Invalidate these garbage patents, give Oracle $1.09 for the
rangeCheck and PolicyNodeImpl code, and award attorney's fees to
Google.

Reasonable doubt must acquit
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 21 2012 @ 05:37 PM EDT
I just thought I would throw that out there from the criminal side. Obvious
reasonable doubt from the jury on infringement, so they should side with Google.
If it were clear and obvious, we would have had a verdict on the first day.

    But on the other hand...

    By the time the jury returns a verdict, one of the patents will probably be
    invalid anyway :-).

    Mr Van Nest must be even more frustrated

    Groklaw - Oracle v. Google - Google Requests Continuance; Not Likely

    You certainly have to wonder whether this motion was not prompted, at least in part, by a desire by Google to get the reexamination of the '104 patent to a final action, but that's just speculation. What is clear is that Mr. Van Nest is going to disappoint his family by having to cancel their scheduled May vacation overseas.

    If the trial had been delayed until re-examination was complete the trial may have been much simpler and Mr. Van Nest might have had a chance of seeing his family

    The judge is frustrated, but he's clearly a very smart man. While I don't like
    the details of this specific portion of the trial, I still admit to having a
    certain amount of faith in his ability to come up with something sane in the
    end.

    I hope. *crossing fingers*
