Third question: Can the jurors take the jury instructions home with them at night? O & G agree no.
-
-
Alsup: They have a statutory duty to decide the case, and however they want to do it, as long as they don't get extraneous information,
-
and they come to a unanimous verdict, they don't have to deliberate at all. It's up to them on how they want to deliberate.
-
Alsup: I feel as a judge to have a duty to respect the role of the jury and not to hamstring them just because the lawyers want to
-
For now, Alsup will say the jurors can't do these things, but overnight, Oracle and Google have to brief this issue and come up with caselaw
-
Doesn't matter that O & G agree on Questions #2 and #3, Alsup says he's protecting the "integrity of the jury"
-
Oracle and Google have to file their briefs by midnight tonight, and Alsup says he's on the verge of just telling the jurors they can do it
-
Alsup now writing out reply to jury saying "Please do not do this yet. I will advise tomorrow."
-
A passle of Keker lawyers just showed up, in case you were worried that there weren't enough billables in this case
-
Alsup confirms that they're going to "wheel in the computer thing" and sighs, "hope that's done..."
-
Alsup reiterates that not letting jurors take home the instructions / notes is not being fair to the jury.
-
Alsup: You can't stop them from thinking about the case driving home. You can't stop them from thinking about it in the middle of the night.
-
We're done for now. Alsup leaves the courtroom.
-
well I know I'M waking up in the middle of the night going, "What really happened at that bat mitzvah?"
-
1 pm. No verdict today. We'll be on to Jury Watch Day 2 tomorrow.
-
For those asking, I have no idea why Google is objecting to the jury taking their notes home. It does seem a bit much.
-
If you're a litigator (especially patents / tech), feel free to speculate in my mentions, I will retweet.
-
(I will not retweet Hacker News-style comments)
-
I got nothing
