Meanwhile in Arkansas, a building products company called Stoam Holdings is disputing a US$12.6 million judgment against it because juror Johnathan Powell as the decision was announced. To wit:

"So Johnathan, what did you do today? Oh nothing really, I just gave away TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS of somebody else's money."

The company's attorneys are pushing the idea that Powell was "." Yeah. I buy that. I always make multi-million-dollar decisions just to wow my tweeps.

Apparently, the legal industry is finally waking up to the digital revolution. But what has changed, exactly? Just speed and convenience.

There was nothing in the past that could stop a determined juror from going to the library or the county courthouse and researching a case, aside from the judge's admonitions against doing it. Google is no different, it's just a lot more convenient. And when it's on your cell phone, you don't even have to leave the jury box.
