Continuing your analogy of Pizza, the answer wasn't "Once" but "I
did last Tuesday", I don't think most people would consider such an answer
a lie and they might not be sure how to, or even if they should, bring up the
other times they and there family members ate pizza in a court room situation.
Apple is arguing this very point, and reasonably enough in my opinion. Not that
the verdict shouldn't be overturned, but he didn't lie in the normal sense of
the word to a normal (someone not very interested in legal things) person.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I didn't deliberately miss the point. You made a far bigger deal about Carol
Hogan being named in the bankruptcy than anyone else has done in the comments.
It wasn't (and still isn't) at all clear why you did that. The presence of her
name wouldn't affect whether or not Mr. Hogan had to mention the bankruptcy (His
name was on it, too), but you seemed to think it was very important, so no
wonder I didn't understand your point.
Another problem is that, as you said, Judge Koh used the word
"lawsuit". The actual wording was, "HAVE YOU OR A
FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO YOU EVER
BEEN INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT,BEEN INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, A
DEFENDANT, OR AS A WITNESS?" A bankruptcy case isn't a lawsuit. He and his
wife would have been debtors, rather than plaintiffs, defendants or witnesses.
Given that, there doesn't seem to have been any need for him to mention the
bankruptcy.
Thirdly, notice that her question is simply a yes or no question. She asked
people to raise their hands. He did. She never asked how many times it happened
and he never said "once." He probably should have inferred that she
wanted to know about every lawsuit, but she never actually said so.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
