According to the verge Judge Lucy Koh has been going
increasingly terse with both Apple and Samsung as the trial continues, and she
just let Apple have it after receiving a 75-page briefing. The document covered
22 potential rebuttal witnesses the company might want to call after Samsung
finishes presenting its case. With the jury out of the courtroom, Koh laid into
Apple, asking why it would present such a lengthy document "when unless
you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!"
Apple attorney William Lee stepped forward, saying
"First, your honor, I'm not smoking crack. I can promise you that."
The company's legal team agreed to pare down the document, with attorney
Michael Jacobs claiming that the company didn't mean to burden the court — and
that it truly believed it would be able to run through all of its witnesses in
the time it has remaining. Jacobs also pointed out that some of those addressed
in the document were Samsung's witnesses, not Apple's.
….One thing is clear: Judge Koh wants this trial done on
schedule, and will not hold back in making sure it happens….
