Speculation thread on Apple's reply
Authored by: dobbo on Monday, September 24 2012 @ 10:01 AM EDT
Obviously, he's not biased

I admit that I haven't read the whole argument by Samsung (I haven't the time), but I don't see a argument of biasness.

The foreman was told, and agreed, not to judge on points of law except what the Judge told them about. He didn't do that. He used his own experiences to sway the jury, not what he was told to do:

THE COURT: OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FROM THAT EXPERIENCE -- BASICALLY YOU OBVIOUSLY WILL BRING YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE TO YOUR ROLE AS A JUROR, BUT WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SET THAT ASIDE, YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH PATENTS, AND DECIDE THIS CASE BASED SOLELY ON THE LAW AS YOU'RE INSTRUCTED AND THE EVIDENCE THAT'S ADMITTED DURING THE TRIAL?

That is not what the rule of law requires, and therefore due processes was not followed. That makes the verdict what I believe we we call "unsafe" here in the UK, and justification to set aside the verdict and have a retrial.

No, he didn't act as an expert witness

Didn't he? That is exactly what he did by using his own personal knowledge of his "PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH PATENTS."

Even if he did, Samsung's cited cases don't show there is any remedy.

Samsung are asking for a retrial, or some other remedy, under Rule 50 and 59.

But IANAL, so maybe you've seen something that I've missed.

Anyone Expect Circular Reasoning?

One possible reply: "The juror's misconduct doesn't matter because the jury
found Samsung guilty."

You have to remember, reasoning like this works in the
Reality Distortion field.
