The jurors in this case were reviewed by both Apple and Samsung legal teams during the "Voir dire" process - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voir_dire#Use_in_the_United_States_and_Canada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voir_dire#Use_in_the_United_Sta... .
The process goes like this: each party, taking turns, gets to ask a question about potential jurors background or their current situation. Jurors that show potential bias or inability to deliver an independent ruling are thrown out (either by the judge's decision or by using a limited amount of discretionary vetoes that each party has).
It's a major failure for Samsung's legal team to allow Hogan to stand, considering his background. I doubt these lawyers to be ever able to represent again a tech company in a court of law.
