It was the perfect storm.

Perfect venue, judge, jury, nationalism and timing to allow this verdict. Much
the same as blacks felt in the old south. Frankly, I would have thought we were
better than that as a society. OTOH, maybe this is the new reality and I am too
idealistic. Perhaps justice is, to coin a phrase, "quaint". I'm
extremely dissapointed with this whole charade and side with Quinn. Why even
bother with a trial. Let's just procede to the punishment stage.

That "juror with a patent".

Clearly didn't have a clue, from the reports. Apple had patented the bezel,
Samsung had a bezel, Samsung infringed.

Didn't bother to ask whether bezels were around before the patent or not.

In other words, he didn't know the difference between a technology patent, and a
design patent, and applied the wrong set of rules.

Cheers,
Wol
