I don't know the answer to that but it should be made clear to the other jurors,
if their verdict is overturned, it's because they were fooled by this man.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Don't think this is the time to be a smart aleck (a British term) . Yet, I
am reminded that the East has a different view of time. As in Softly Softly Catchee
Monkey.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I feel that Hogan, when responding to the voir dire question, simply didn't
consider it carefully, in pretty much the same way he didn't consider the
evidence carefully. I don't believe he deliberately set out to mislead the
court.
Negligent? Almost certainly.
Deliberately committing a criminal offense? Nope
There should be a retrial, or in the alternative Ms Koh should make such JMOLs
as to make Mr Hogans performance irrelevant. I think whichever path she chooses,
even if she chooses to uphold the judgement, will result in some serious
ridiculing on Appeal.

Even if it were a legal possibility, it might look rather
mean spirited for a multinational conglomerate wit almost
infinite resources to go after an individual who obviously
couldn't pay anyway (even when he's clearly acted
dishonestly.)
Shrug. Might be wrong, perhaps they'd have to attempt it to
show they meant business, I have no idea how these things
work.
I think juries tend to be well looked after though as they
kind of have no choice about doing it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That is *not* what this is all about.
If the verdict is overturned because of his actions, then he will be hated by
the Apple fans, the Android fans, and his reputation well and thoroughly
bemudded.
If he goes into the hearing and assaults the judge, or commits some other crime,
then he could be charged for that. But, as it currently stands, there is
nothing.
But - *PERJURY!!* I hear you scream.
If you look at all the precedents presented by both sides, there is not one case
where a juror ends up charged over dishonesty. None. Nada. Doesn't happen.
There's already a great majority of people who would be very reluctant to serve
on a jury. If you suddenly start placing jurors at risk of jail time, or worse,
at risk of being liable for the costs of a trial that they weren't responsible
for and didn't want to attend in the first place, the juror pool would become
pretty dry.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Can Hogan be charged? Doesn't that depends on whether he come with a Apple
approved Lightning Connector.
Sorry: just could not resist (the
nano ohms) sanding in the way of circumstantial evidence. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And that requires the juror to be in collusion with one of the parties in the
case.
I doubt that Apple ever knew of him before the trial.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'm not sure, but I somehow doubt he will be.
I would like to see him permanently barred from jury service, though. I have to
believe there's some chance of that at least, but I have no idea whether or not
it will happen.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Theoretically, yes. There is evidence that he commited perjury by not telling
the whole truth about the law suit while under oath (yes prospective jurors are
sworn in). Realisticly, I highly doubt he will be, it is my understanding that
this charge would have to be brought by the goverment, not Samsung, and I don't
see them doing so.
Also keep in mind it would have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt that he
commited perjury, which would probably be surprisingly difficult. That's not to
say he can't be charged, just that the charges might have some trouble
sticking.
DISCLAIMER: IANAL, this is just my understanding of the matter as a non-legal
proffesional.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
