Oracle opened. They desired to show two things. "We own it" and
"Google stole it".
Hopefully the jury now sees the "iffy-ness" of the former and the
nothingness of the latter.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is the age-old education question of whether one should be taught a subject
before knowing why they need it, or if it is easier to learn a subject after
they need it. Without the background of the trial, I suspect the jury's eyes
would have glazed over during the Java education if it came first.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Remember, this came late in the day and will be remembered well.

I suspect Google wanted it at the end. As you said, the jury's going to
remember most clearly what was said at the end, and least clearly the stuff said
earliest. So going into the jury room their clearest memory will be this last
clear explanation with examples, and when they're considering the question of
whether the APIs are something that can be copyrighted the thought in their
heads will be "But how could you claim copyright on that?". [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
