Much as I may think Hogan is shady, I am VERY unhappy with the argument.
IF YOU READ THE TRANSCRIPT it goes something like this:
JUDGE: Have any of you prospective jurors been involved in a lawsuit?
Hogan puts his hand up.
JUDGE: Okay Mr Hogan.
HOGAN: In 2008 blah blah blah
JUDGE: Thank you Mr Hogan. Next prospective juror? ...
So yes, Hogan should have mentioned it, but there is NO evidence he concealed
it. The Judge cut him off before he had a chance to mention it. Maybe he should
have gone back to it, but he's not a lawyer. If the Judge seemed satisfied, who
was he to argue with her? (And we get the impression she can be rather
preremptory and seems to have a short fuse.)
Cheers,

"Lies by omission are real lies."
No, not when what you didn't mention didn't happen in the first place! Hogan
never sued Seagate for fraud (nor ever countersued them for fraud) as far as we
know, therefore it wasn't a lie to not mention any such lawsuit about fraud
during jury selection. (Yes, he told a reporter that he filed such a lawsuit,
but that seems to have been a lie.)
Note that the OP was *not* taking about the lawsuit where Seagate sued Hogan for
breach of contract (not fraud). That's something completely different. As Wol
pointed out (above), it's even possible to construe the questioning as if Hogan
didn't have to mention that lawsuit, either. (Personally, I think Wol is
overstating it, but it's at least arguable.) But the OP and the reply were not
talking about that lawsuit, anyway, so it's not relevant here.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I wrote another reply just above, but don't think I was clear. I'm trying
again.
Hogan apparently lied and told a reporter that he filed a *fraud* complaint
against Seagate. Since that never happened, as far as we know, he shouldn't have
claimed it happened in the court. He didn't claim it happened in court, so he
didn't lie about it in court.
The real case was a *breach of contract* case Seagate brought against Hogan.
That's something completely different. The OP and the reply weren't talking
about that.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

OP quoting PJ:

> confirm it.
I take that to mean, "You'd think that if Hogan's fraud complaint was real,
it would be found somewhere..." In other words, there wasn't any such fraud
complaint. Hogan apparently lied to the reporter (but not to the court) about
it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
