Alice in Wonderland...
Authored by: cjk fossman on Monday, August 27 2012 @ 08:09 PM EDT
Really?

How about deciding that a phone with a slide out keypad
infringes the iphone? Is that a minor mistake, too?

You don't make minor mistakes if you are diligently following the instructions.

You don't make minor mistakes if you realize you are dealing with a complex case
that effects not only the companies in question but an entire marketplace.

You DO make minor mistakes if you (pick your favorite): 1) just don't care, 2)
want to get it all over, 3) want to impress everyone with how quickly you can
'cut through the Gordian Knot'.

I have no idea what was in the minds of those jurors, but I do know that the
jury I was on in a misdemeanor criminal case went over each and every
instruction and question multiple times to make sure we were delivering a fair
and just verdict. I see no evidence that this jury took this case as seriously
as the billions of dollars in play warranted.

The fact that it was $1m OR $1 matters not; it shows they were sloppy, and that
raises a lot of questions.

If, as I suspect, judging from the judge and the
Federal Circuit's rulings, Apple's patents are
invalid, then the mistake is a billion dollar plus
mistake.

Those minor mistakes are what will ultimately prove the
incompetence of this jury in following the jury instructions
they claimed not to need. That's not only an insult to the
Judge, but our whole judicial system as a whole. Especially
coupled with one jurist opening his flapping jaws about
having decided the outcome after just hearing Apple's side
of the case. Before Samsung got their chance!

It's absurd for YOU to call foul on PJ, when it's YOU that's
showing your partisanship by even accusing her of reportedly
showing bias. Bias that YOU are exposing of your own here!

If you can't take the heat..... as they say... better get
out of the kitchen. If anything PJ is only exposing the
jury's errors, not out of a built in bias, but out of her
perceptions of right and wrong. That have nothing to do with
her liking or disliking Apple and more about her dislike of
improperly rendered "Alice in Wonderland" judgements!
