Calling this a lynching is pretty naive
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 08 2012 @ 10:55 AM EDT
Older than Lynch.

The idea is the same: once you decided what you want, any unrelated reason for slamming the target is good enough. "Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses."

Or in this case, for the details of his finances regarding a personal bankruptcy case long ago. Details that are not at all related to his jury service but rather serve to smear his character.

Yes, I consider the path Groklaw is taking here shameful. Exactly this is the reason that Samsung filed its motions sealed at first. Because this case is about speaking justice between Samsung and Apple, not about speaking justice over the jurors.

And just to point out: If this was a lynching, we'd have all his personal
details, where he lives, his social sec number, and a whole pile of dirty little
details in nice big lettering somewhere. Probably his bank account numbers as
well, this is the internet after all, and privacy is dead.

Look at what happens elsewhere on the internet. This is a *really* restrained
analysis of the parts of his life that might possibly matter to this case.


Note: I'm not advocating publisicing any of that information.
