Apparently derives from Norman French, originally from Latin
verum decire - "to tell truthfully". For years I assumed it
was just English lawyers' usual butchering of French - in
particular "ouir dire" - "to hear [him] say" - which is
exactly how you test the knowledge of an expert witness (or
did, before Daubert hearings) - as in the classic scene in
the film _My Cousin Vinny_.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What form would a retrial take? Would it be all the same
judge, rulings,
evidence, and jury instructions they have
now but with a new jury, or would
they get to do a complete
do over from scratch? Of course my preference would
be for
the latter, as I don't think Samsung got fair treatment so
far. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

For the non-chess players in the audience:
A "fork" is when you move one of your pieces so that it threatens TWO
of your opponent's pieces simultaneously. It's a great position to be in
because the opponent can't defend them both.
Example: you move your knight to a square from which it attacks BOTH the
opponent's rook, and the opponent's queen. Your opponent can use his move to
save only one of the pieces, and then it's your turn again and you capture the
other piece.
I guess in the legal version, you "fork" your opponent by attacking
them with two different theories that can't both be wrong. Either Apple
believes Samsung had a certain duty, or it doesn't. Either way, Samsung wins
something out of it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
