He has caused literally millions of dollars to be wasted, and (probably more
important to Samsung) while this trial was going on, some of Samsung's products
languished under an injunction. Apple is using the court system to interfere
with Samsung's business (anti-competition is after all, the whole point of
patents) and so far Samsung hasn't been too successful doing the same back to
Apple.
And that's only the situation because he got caught! He misled the court in
voir dire; he got onto the jury with an agenda, and steered the jury into a
>$1billion verdict against Samsung. Then went to the media to cheer himself
on. The damage to Samsung if this had not been unearthed, would have been 20x
worse than it already was.
And now, solely because of Hogan's conduct, this whole farce is going to drag on
for _months_ longer than it otherwise would have. A new trial is necessary if
anyone cares about getting a fair/just result (whether Judge Koh will allow that
or not, remains to be seen... but if she doesn't grant it after this, I will be
shocked--that would leave her reputation in complete tatters).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
