If Mr. Hogan introduced the 10 year limit himself, and if bankruptcy remained on his credit history for 10 years, that could serve as the starting point for an argument that he was thinking specifically about his own bankruptcy-inducing lawsuit during his deliberations.

One of the other jurors mentioned a case from more than 10 years ago. So we know that at least one of his fellow jurors did not believe that the inquiry was listed to the past 10 years.
We also know, per his own admission, that he had not forgotten about the case, but instead that he deliberately withheld that information, allegedly because he believed it irrelevant due to it having been so long ago.
Therefore, he has cleverly established that he intentionally disregarded the court's actual orders in favor of whatever he imagined the court's orders to be.
Though, there is an article on Bloomberg with a response from the jury foreman: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-03/samsung-claims-jury...
There he says the court specified a 10-year limit to the lawsuit question.
So the real question is: is the juror confused about what he was asked, or is Samsung trying to get the verdict thrown own by including a half-truth in their filing.
