Or did they based on what some over-bearing jury foreman argued, a man who wanted to prove a point with patents, and has a reasonable bias against Samsung? I think that's the point Groklaw are making. The more they dig in, the more it looks like this guy has and continues to have an agenda.

That said, how did the Samsung attorneys not weed this guy out pre-trial? That was a huge blunder.

It looks like he failed to provide relevant information during jury questioning.

That, and the lawyers from both sides have only limited time to investigate all of the candidates.

We can see clear bias now, after the fact. Samsung had to weed through a much larger haystack that featured much more obvious bias that they did catch.
