That would be a jury of domain experts, not peers. Legally, peers means an impartial group of citizens from the judicial district (e.g. county) in which the defendant lives. It does not mean a jury ethnically, educationally, economically, or sexually the same as the defendant.
Besides, domain experts are often more biased than peers. see vi vs emacs, windows vs mac, linux vs windows, ford vs chevy,.net vs java, perl vs ruby, etc, etc, etc,
"With regards to the Seagate suit and subsequent bankruptcy, Hogan says the court required jurors to disclose any litigation they were involved in within the last 10 years -- which he did. The 1993 Seagate business fell well outside that time range."

Yeah, that sold well last time around. When they called them WinXP tablets.

Yeah, if you're a witness.
The JUROR's oath states something like they will give a true verdict according to the evidence.
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.
You do know where the judge gets the questions from, right?
I'll give you a hint. It's the lawyers.
And?
I hope that's not all you've set your hopes on.
He answered yes, and gave AN example.
it is his responsibilty and duty to state any and all disqualifying information.
Bullshit.
He answered yes - to a yes or no question - and included AN example.
He answered yes - to a yes or no question - and included AN example. How is that a lie?
So, he answered truthfully, if not completely. But you're going to have to verify your 'more detail' claim as it's not cited on groklaw.
Because Samsung's lawyers are going to come out of it looking very stupid.
1. He was asked a yes or no question.
2. He answered yes, truthfully.
3. No followup questions were asked based on his first answer.
This will probably get thrown out the first time the judge lays eyes on it.
It was a yes or no question. How is saying yes lying by omission?
The lawyers needed to ask for details after that answer. They didn't. That's not his fault.
They have to prove he lied. He answered yes to a yes or no question. Truthfully.
The lawyers needed to ask follow up questions based on that answer. That's not his fault they didn't.
So what? It was a yes or no question. He answered yes.
If the lawyers did their job, they'd ask HOW MANY as the next question. And with whom as the following question.
Hell, Tom Cruise could have done their questioning better.
It was a yes or no question. He answered yes.
How is that not answering truthfully?
A better followup question would be" HOW MANY lawsuits have you been involved in, and with whom?"
If only one of Samsung's lawyers was on his original case...
At the time of his lawsuit (1993), Seagate wasn't owned by Samsung. And wouldn't be for more than a decade later, until 2011.
That would be a jury of domain experts, not peers. Legally, peers means an impartial group of citizens from the judicial district (e.g. county) in which the defendant lives. It does not mean a jury ethnically, educationally, economically, or sexually the same as the defendant.

Hence his accusation towards Samsung:
"he also wondered aloud whether Samsung "let me in the jury just to have an excuse for a new trial if it didn't go in their favor.""

Ahhh, mead, is there nothing you can't make better? Well, except the Dark Ages?
Wait, God drinks?
I'm sure a few ants died too, though.
That can't be true.
Dinosaurs never actually existed!
The helicopter moms make it mandatory for the kids. Thus, no one bikes.
Man, no need to be pedantic. Fresh fish becomes obsolete after a few days in the sun too.
Ever heard of time decay???
