Samsung Admonished For Releasing Rejected Evidence
New submitter zaphod777 writes with an update on Samsung's release of info on pre-iPhone designs. It seems the additional information released relating to the F700 was actually rejected from the trial, and the judge isn't too happy: "Samsung has already appealed the rulings denying the evidence, but that didn't stop the company's lawyers from trying again today after Apple briefly showed the F700 on a slide during its opening statements. Claiming that Apple had 'opened the door' to discussion of the F700, Samsung asked the court to reconsider. That didn't go so well with Judge Koh, who noted that 'Samsung has filed like 10 motions for reconsideration,' and asked Samsung lead attorney John Quinn to sit back down. At one point in the exchange Quinn told Koh that he was 'begging the court,' and desperately asked 'what's the point in having a trial?' — but Koh simply wasn't buying it. 'Don't make me sanction you,' she said. 'Please.'"
By reminding the judge that if he doesn't back apple that nasty video of him and the apple fanbois in the public restroom will be released.
Judge Lucy is probably too feminine for the stereotypical Apple fanboi, even if she did choose to hang around in public restrooms. And as much as it breaks my heart to say it, I suspect iDevices are far too mainstream to be gay icons any more.
It's hard to say what's behind the latest bit of drama, but instead of shrieking and pointing fingers, we should all be asking the obvious question:
Why was such crucial evidence submitted so late as to be barred from the trial?
