As the Apple Turns: Scene 1022: Supressing Evidence (9/17/98)

Supressing Evidence (9/17/98)

Yet another Microsoft argument was shot down by Judge Jackson in today's episode of "Redmond Justice." Jackson rejected Microsoft's request to have all new Department of Justice evidence suppressed from the case. Read all about it in a TechWeb article.

Microsoft, as you probably know, has been saying that the Justice Department is trying to expand the scope of the case at the last minute by throwing in allegations about "strong-arm tactics" that may have been used to try to prevent other companies-- including our own Apple-- from developing products that encroached on Redmond turf. And while the judge states that he's going to try the case based solely on the parameters set by the lawsuit filed last May, he announced that he's going to evaluate new evidence as it is presented, rather than simply suppressing the whole lot.

While the new evidence is compelling, since it deals with the attempted suppression of technologies like QuickTime and RealVideo which may indeed be outside the scope of the case, it's certainly possible that the judge will not allow it to be used when the time comes. And if he does allow it, we can expect an even further delay of the trial, which is currently set for October 15th. This was supposed to be a quick case, but it's looking more and more like that's going to change...

The above scene was taken from the 9/17/98 episode:

September 17, 1998: Fears that the iMac's high power and low price point might jeopardize the sale of other more profitable Macs appear to be unfounded. Meanwhile, Apple's reportedly hard at work behind the scenes, trying to cut deals with several national retailers in a bid to make this a Merry iMac Christmas for all, and Judge Jackson may allow new evidence in the "Redmond Justice" case that could delay the trial even further...

Other scenes from that episode:

1020: Dog Eat Dog World (9/17/98) The iMac is making such a huge impact on Apple's whole situation, we at AtAT are considering campaigning for an official change to the calendar. The start of the new calendar would be, of course, May 6th, 1998, the day the iMac was revealed to the world and made its indelible Bondi Blue mark on Apple's checkered history...
1021: Come Crawling Back (9/17/98) So now that Apple's got a winning consumer computer (and all indications are that it's simply the first in a long line of iMacs), it's time to start thinking once again about where people can go to buy them...
