Unredacted Filings Reveal Claims of Juror Misconduct in Apple vs Samsung Trial

zaphod777 writes with this bit from Groklaw on more Jury related intrigue in the Apple-Samsung trial: "Samsung has now filed an unredacted version [PDF] of its motion for judgment as a matter of law, a new trial, and/or remittitur. That's the one that was originally filed with a redacted section we figured out was about the foreman, Velvin Hogan. The judge ordered it filed unsealed, and so now we get to read all about it. It's pretty shocking to see the full story. I understand now why Samsung tried to seal it. They call Mr. Hogan untruthful in voir dire (and I gather in media interviews too), accuse him of 'implied bias' and of tainting the process by introducing extraneous 'evidence' of his own during jury deliberations, all of which calls, Samsung writes, for an evidentiary hearing and a new trial with an unbiased jury as the cure." It would seem that everyone's favorite foreman did not disclose that he was sued by Seagate for breach of contract, and that he may have had a chip on his shoulder considering that Samsung is the largest single shareholder of Seagate.

Samsung's motion

These are Samsung's claims. Not to be taken as fact. What is interesting is how did Samsung know about he foremen's previous lawsuit? You would think they would have done a background check. Makes you wonder.

So you think this guy hated Samsung because they bought Seagate twenty years after his lawsuit?

And then you claim *I'm* being disingenuous??

Yikes.
