I don't think that this is the judges fault. The law (at least to some degree) dictates the decision. If that decision is not good for the general public, then it is the law that needs change. (And we all agree that it does.)
- enraged_camel 14y agoExactly. The sad thing is that many people will ignorantly blame the judge for this decision. Whereas the fact of the matter is that she simply presided over the trial.
- angryasian 14y agoshe did make many decisions through out the trial as to what was admissible and not admissible , so she did effect the outcome.
- mbreese 14y agoBy that argument, Samsung's lawyers are more at fault by not following the predefined rules for submitting evidence. In this case, the judge setup the rules, and it was up to the parties to play by them.
- angryasian 14y agoits hard to follow the rules when the judge defines them as they go along. If you followed it, sometimes decisions are left ad hoc up to the judge.
- rayiner 14y agoWe don't all agree that the law does need to change. I think at least the trade dress infringement claims were spot-on.
