I've been calling for this for awhile. I'm afraid the problem is that Judge Koh
is buried under about 2 feet of paper.

There's not much clear evidence of bias
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 24 2012 @ 11:35 PM EDT
Sure there's a lot of decisions that look odd taken out of context, but there's
also counterpoints for pretty much all of them*. The real issue is the jury
went completely off the rails, which is hard to blame on the judge (the jury
instructions were wrong? yeah maybe, but they didn't *read* the instructions
etc).

Don't forget Koh didn't appear favorable at all to Apple with regards to the
preliminary injunction mess either - the only reason for the injunctions was Koh
got overruled on appeal.

Basically, I don't think the judge particularly biased at all. I think the jury
- especially the foreman - are why we got the verdict we did.



*ie was the F700 evidence submitted late? If so, that's an understandable
ruling. Did the F700 designer that got barred really say that she wasn't aware
of any phones being based on the F700 design? If so, it was irrelevant. And so
on - there was reasoning behind these decisions and we don't have enough
information to be sure if it's just pretense or real justification.
