Re: This is all about managing expectations, outside and inside the courtroom

I think you spent too much time watching the OJ trial. In civil litigation, unless your case is crap, the goal is to put together a good case for the Judge and Jury. Telegraphing your strategy through a series of press releases has little effect, good or bad, unless you manage to generate a mistrial.

In a murder trial, particularly one involving children or minorities, press releases can be helpful in contaminating the Jury pool and intimidating the Judge by fomenting angry mobs of protestors. I just can't see mobs roaming the streets chanting for or against Rambus.

The public behavior of both sides in these cases suggests that neither one is in an overwhelmingly strong position.
