This is linkbaiting at its best.
Groklaw is arguing that he cannot find the actual phrase that the media used over and over again in the documents but the jurors didn't decide on the case over that phrase (I'm not getting into the actual verdict or my personal opinion on it), nor they decided according to what the media said on those days.
They did based on what Apple and Samsung attorneys argued on the trial, and they both presented a lot of evidence to make their own case.
Whats more, even Groklaw admits "I didn't grab all the exhibits, simply because it got incredibly expensive. But I have almost all of them, certainly the ones that seemed most interesting".
Id admire that he is willing to sit through the paperwork but this is beyond pointless. If something was said that was not on the evidence records and somehow misrepresent the situation I'd assume that Samsung lawyers would jump on it. Same for Apple.
If Groklaw is making the case that the media did a poor job and started using and reusing a phrase that was not on the records, well, thats a problem for the media but not, as CNET suggests, a problem with the veredict itself.
- tatsuke95 14y ago>"They did based on what Apple and Samsung attorneys argued on the trial," Or did they based on what some over-bearing jury foreman argued, a man who wanted to prove a point with patents, and has a reasonable bias against Samsung? I think that's the point Groklaw are making. The more they dig in, the more it looks like this guy has and continues to have an agenda. That said, how did the Samsung attorneys not weed this guy out pre-trial? That was a huge blunder.
- thirdtruck 14y agoIt looks like he failed to provide relevant information during jury questioning. That, and the lawyers from both sides have only limited time to investigate all of the candidates. We can see clear bias now, after the fact. Samsung had to weed through a much larger haystack that featured much more obvious bias that they did catch.
