If he forces fine and/or incarceration, that won't obviate the public
humiliation; if anything, it would probably exacerbate it![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The standards for perjury and jury misconduct are different.
IANAL, but as I understand it, jury misconduct can even be
innocently answering a a question untruthfully - such as
remembering a conversation different than someone else. For
perjury, you have to knowingly lie.
In this case, Mr. Hogan's answers were factually correct,
but incomplete. Under oath, you are not obliged to expand
on your answers or offer additional information that has not
been asked for.
The way I see it, jury misconduct is obvious. Perjury, not
so much. However, i don't think it is enough to show
misconduct. Courts are loath to overturn jury verdicts.
Samsung must show that not only should Mr. Hogan have been
eliminated from the jury, but that he was biased against
Samsung. Mr. Hogan's post-trial comments about "sending a
message to the industry" probably establish bias.
