For the US it is important to protect Apple against threats like Samsung. The profits that flows to Apple is good. The profits that flows to Korea is bad. Will take a miracle for Samsung to win this thing.

That same law has lead to lethal injection and electric chair executions that years later - despite appeals, etc - were proven to be incorrectly judged (fudged would me more appropriate). Those on jury duty are all patriotic US citizens that will do what is best for good old US of A(pple).

Those verdicts were accurate at the time, as those verdicts are based on the information presented at that point in time. It is only evidence that came later that showed that the outcome would be different with the new evidence.
Yes, but if a jury's verdict isn't based on law, it is easily overturned (And can be done by the presiding judge). The punitive damages not so much. There patriotism could come into play

People are waiting for WW3 to happen ...
What you see happening in these courts are exactly that ... just not with guns. The USA needs to fend off the economic onslaught from the East and Apple and other US firms are fighting foreign threats more and more in court. US companies do have a go at one another too but that does not pose a threat to the US economy. Economic Hitman stuff. The US cannot afford to see Apple get beaten by the likes of Samsung. Why do you think Huawei is getting blocked from selling their stuff all over the globe where the US has influence? "Security" reasons. The East is standing up and becoming stronger and stronger and the USA and Europe are slowly losing control. This is not about "squares and rectangles". This Apple onslaught on Samsung is all out war.

Maybe in iLand you can try and apply the law like this but not in the real world.A typical sanction for attorney misbehavior is a monetary fine, but Apple is asking Koh to rule that Apple’s phone design patents in the case are valid, and that Samsung has infringed them.

Heheheheh... It surprises me that Apple has not been granted a patent for aluminium, glass, silicon and carbon-based consumers yet.
Apple quit bitching and launch iPhone 5
