Of course, we should not be calling anybody names. No need
to be impolite.
BUT, I disagree with your most generous assessment of this
jury. If, indeed as we have read, they did not follow the
judge's instructions, then they did not do their DUTY. This
would have been a waste of court time and public resources -
not to mention the miscarriage of justice.
However, I have to say that the ultimate responsibility lies
with the judge. Her responsibility is to run a trial that
would give normal folks a chance to understand what is in
front of them. A 700 question verdict form, 100+ pages of
instructions, mixing design patents, functional patents,
trademark, trade dress, FRAND patents, standards adoption
procedures, all together gave them no chance. Adding
penalty allocation to it added to the burden. This whole
setup she ran had no chance to yield anything but a flip of
the coin (one juror with a strong personality able to
control the complete result). It could have been the total
opposite result, and still be the same underlying issue.
Her obsession with process over truth seeking make no sense,
and was a disservice to the system.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
