Apple Lawyer to Frustrated Judge: Yes, We Need All These Witnesses, and No, I’m Not Smoking Crack

Already frustrated with the amount of paperwork in the Apple vs. Samsung case, Judge Lucy Koh boiled over with frustration after lawyers for the sides filed a new round of objections over witness testimony.

A big part of Koh’s displeasure focused on the long list of witnesses that Apple said it intends to call in its few remaining hours of time before the jury. “Unless you are smoking crack you know these witnesses are (not) going to be called,” Judge Koh said. Apple attorney Bill Lee defended Apple’s proposed witness list. “First, I am not smoking crack I can promise you that,” Lee said. While a few witnesses might or might not be called, he said the majority would be called and he said Apple had timed their testimony to make sure they would be able to get it all in. Judge Koh disagreed, quite adamantly, and grew frustrated with the time it was taking to sort out the matter. “We’re wasting the jury’s time,” she said. You are being unreasonable.”
