Re: Big Ouch

I wouldn`t jump to that conclusion, Stan. Cross-examination is fun, and much easier than direct exam (i.e. more "natural") for experienced trial lawyers. Past writings and statements of experts often prove to be fertile fields for the extraction of sound bytes on "cross". However, without hearing the professor`s (author`s) explanation, it would be wrong to assume that he had no reasonable testimony as to context, nuance, and his intent when the passage was penned. Qualcomm knew full well of that choice of language when they decided to call him as an expert, and their lawyers undoubtedly had a reasonable expectation that his explanation would be accepted by the jury. If the jury finds him to be a knowledgeable, authoritative, and appealing expert witness, they will readily accept his explanation of such zinger points made on cross examination.
