Technicalities are there for good reasons
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 23 2012 @ 03:34 AM EDT
It would have been fair to tell the jury that Apple filed the motions against
Samsung in bad merit. Trying to sanction it for things they have done wrong.
Dropping the whole story is not fair IMHO.
Because Apple is not sanctioned for filing motions in bad merit, then you get
flooded with such motions in courts forever?

When you are defending against a case, you should always be able to bring in
additional evidence to clear your name. But only if it will actually clear your
name.

Otherwise Justice will never happen.

Bah.

Yes BS&F abused the system incredibly. But that was because
the presiding judge and the magistrate judge thought BS&F was
acting in good faith.

But in the end BS&F lost because they had no case.

Samsung has a case, but it's been gutted by the judges. There
seems to be an assumption that Samsung is trying to game the
system.

But the judges set the dates and the judges can make
exceptions.
