Re: Dumb Jury
said by Goober  :said by BigMac777 :The court will throw out this outrageous fine from some very ingnorant people that sat on this jury. Even the jury was to stupid to know constitutional law and the award they give to the crooked RIAA . Unfortunately, the same desciption seems to apply to you as well. Read the judge's instructions and read the statute. The jury were within their rights to award what they did. If the judgement is eventually deemed unconstitutional, then there will have to be a change to the copyright statute. The court nor the jury overstepped any boundaries. Indeed. If her appeal is accepted, expect all eyes to be on this case because it would have extreme ramifications for all civil court cases and judgments made within them, both past, present, and future - that is, if retroactivity comes into play. If she wins, it could open the flood gates for a whole new set of appeals to occur, not that that is a bad thing. Reform of the judicial system is definitely needed. Of course, if she wins, expect an immediate appeal to a higher court. |
