Jurors in Apple v. Samsung Opt to Work an Extra Hour ~pj
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 23 2012 @ 06:56 PM EDT
"What happens if there is a hung jury?"

A quick answer here, others will provide details.

This is not a criminal trial where all jurors are usually required to vote the
same way for a decision.

A unanimous jury is not required in a (most? all?) civil trial.

Jurors in Apple v. Samsung Opt to Work an Extra Hour ~pj

In all likelyhood, a hung jury (despite what media is
reporting) is far more probable than the just as biased
media view of Oracle vs Google. Remember all those Billions
the media kept saying Oracle was sure to get?

Didn't happen did it? :DDD These pro Apple media fans just
gotta to realize this one important thing. Apple products
sell to Apple fans almost exclusively..... over and over and
over again.

Whereas Samsung's wider spectrum of products sell to Apple
fans, Microsoft fans, Google fans, Linux fans, Android fans,
people buying home appliances, HDTV's, BlueRay players,
computer products with their parts in them, Construction
Companies for construction equipment, Oil and Gas companies
for Oil rigs and Ocean Drilling Platforms, Mining equipment,
Freighters, Skyscrapers and Industrial Building construction
(yes they build here too, not just the Burj Dubai),
Automotive (almost all autos have some Samsung parts), and
their chips (including largest memory maker on the planet)
are in about every computing device made today.

Samsung without a doubt makes more parts in America, made by
Americans, than Apple does. They spent more money sponsoring
the Olympics than any company on the planet. The name
SAMSUNG has been en-grained in the sub-conscious of the
ordinary citizens of this country and the World in a good
way as an underdog. That these religious media fans will
ever know admit to. So much so that I believe they're in for
a shock. Especially since we're only hearing from the Vocal
Minority, who members (filled with Apple's arrogance) most
likely never made it on to this jury.

So a Hung Jury is far more likely than they all want to
believe and if they do come to a decision on this trial,
it'll more likely be a split w/ neither side prevailing or
getting the Pie in the Sky Awards they're dreaming of!

This is too technical of a case to be decided in less than
two weeks. If they do.... people no matter who it's for will
be crying fowl for sure!
