And indeed, there will still be a trial. It's just that it will be a trial by judge instead of by jury.
This is the story of the prosecution playing hardball with the defendant's rights, and succeeding. Good on them, they basically got the American taxpayers some money out of Google for free.
- nicce 2y agoThere is a lot at stake in here. Single judge has all the power now. It sets baseline for future cases. Jury would have also included more about the emotional aspect (ethics and morals), while judge views only the law. I am not sure, if that is a good thing here, and Google knows that. They can pay for lawyers.
- shadowgovt 2y agoYep. It's win-win; both parties have something to gain.
