The Apple vs. Samsung court battle reached a boiling point when Apple attempted to book in an excess of witnesses.

“I am not going to be running around trying to get 75 pages of briefings for people who are not going to be testifying,” U.S. District Judge, Lucy Koh told Apple’s lawyer, Bill Lee.

“I mean come on. 75 pages! 75 pages! You want me to do an order on 75 pages, (and) unless you’re smoking crack, you know these witnesses aren’t going to be called when you have less than four hours,” Koh said.

“Your honor, I can assure you, I’m not smoking crack,” Apple lawer Bill Lee replied.

Apple were attempted to bring up more than 20 witnesses for their patent trial against the Korean tech company.
