He's a glory hound?
It's true, if he'd have kept his mouth shut, he might have gotten away with it.
A simple 'The jurors all worked hard to come up with a fair resolution, thank
you, that's all I have to say' but no, he wanted the glory, the interviews,
probably a book deal, or maybe a new iPhone. And thus sealed his doom.

Who knows his motivation - BUT less assume he is angry at seagate - and feels
unjustly treated... AND has transerred that anger to Samsung because of their
involvement. He may want to gloat that he won.... After all - if his emotions
are involved he may not be thinking totally clearly (like the fact that his not
mentioning court cases are likely to come out in a case a good part of the tech
world is watching avidly... It only takes one person....

I don't think it was an epiphanic (is that a word?) moment in terms of Hogan's
view of the facts, but of his fear of losing the chance to 'send a message' (as
he put it). The jurors were leaning towards Samsung, rather than against, so he
may well have been desperate to save his chance to 'send' that 'message.'
Sadly, he had to sacrifice the truth, to get his way. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

About something they've done they thought was particularly worth
noting.
It's a human trait not isolated to the rich or poor, any
particular skin color, age, gender or any other segregation you might
consider.

I have no doubts about his aha moment. He aparently was looking for a way to
convict Samsung, and I believe his aha which he was desperately seeking.
Sent via my cheap Chinese tablet. Better than any Apple tablet on the market.
From a purely hardware perspective. I'm adtually enjoying this Android ICS
tablet.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I don't think it matters so much from a verdict perspective if he did it
deliberately to hurt Samsung (Seagate) or if he did it carelessly (voir dire)
and out of his own misunderstanding of the law (deliberation), he still did 2
things wrong:
1 - Didn't disclose completely in voir dire
2 - Introduced extraneous evidence into deliberations
I assume the error is in the acts, and the potential motivation just adds weight
to the claim?
If the judge agrees with both arguments and thinks it was deliberate I expect he
is in serious trouble. If the judge believes it was just careless I assume he
only in for a slap on the wrist.

I'd say that his conduct after the trial feels as dubious as his behaviour
during it. He's managing to come across to me as not only having deliberately
put one over on Samsung but as being very satisfied with the fact and really,
really wishing he could now just come right out and tell everyone.
There's a saying about what you should do when you're in a hole. Fortunately for
Samsung, the time for Mr Hogan to stop digging was probably about 20 feet ago.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This guy is lapping up the attention and if it was a deliberate insertion of a
false "a ha", then there is no way he could resist making sure that
Samsung/Segate _knew_ it did what he did.
Plus, consider that this is his "proudest moment" or whatever.
Slapping down a billion dollars on someone beats out his entire career?
No this guy is complete preening cretin. He is basking in the attention and
trying to land on the most advantageous public largess he can manage. Changing
stories and circumstantial retelling are classic sings of someone who falsely
_thinks_ they are a master of deception.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
