>On September 8, 2014, Judge Koh set April 9, 2015 as the actual trial date for the remaining defendants, with a pre-trial conference scheduled for December 19, 2014. Also, as of early September 2014, the defendants had re-entered mediation to determine whether a new settlement could be reached.
Wikipedia seems out of date, what was the final result?
This should have been tried before a different judge. The jury misconduct claims also reflect on judge Koh, she has a stake in letting her old verdict stand.
It's great news for justice. These guys should do time. I read back in March (I can't find the link but I think it was the Economist) that the case had been dismissed.
"The Court gave final approval to the Settlement and overruled all objections on January 13, 2020. However, some of those that objected to the Settlement have now appealed the Court’s decision to approve the Settlement. By order of the Court, the Settlement cannot become final until all appeals are resolved and there is currently no timeline for the resolution of these appeals. When the appellate court enters a schedule for the appeal, we will update this website to provide individuals with more guidance as to the timing of a decision. Please check back for further updates."
How does any of this change or contradict what I said?
And doesn't the US legal system allow for escalation to the Supreme Court, which can override lower courts? So technically whatever the Delware Court is not the final say on whatever happens.
>Trial date set to October
This is so so awesome, I will get to see Twatter defenders rage and fume for 2 more months? ^__^
Did you read the part that said, "The case was remanded back to the D.C. District Court for further proceedings on this matter, with Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly presiding." That's not a win. The case was ongoing, and likely would have gone to the Supreme Court eventually, though the court was too cowardly to take the case immediately.
There was a settlement with the DoJ. You don't settle when you win and the other side loses.
