SCO has filed its "renewed" motion for judgment "as a matter of law", with its supporting memorandum. They ask the judge to rule over the heads of the jury and decide that the jury "simply got it wrong" when it ruled that SCO didn't get the copyrights in 1995 from Novell. In the alternative, they'd like a new trial.

See, this is the problem with loaning money to SCO. They don't ever want this dance to end. The rest of the world gets it. SCO lost, by judge (Dale Kimball) and now by jury. They'd like this to be over. And us, the musicians, so to speak, at the dance? We're tired and we want SCO to stop already so we can pack up and go home and get some sleep. And no, this isn't normal, stretching a case that was hopeless from day one into what looks to become a more than decade-long event.

And can you imagine the international outcry if the judge were to grant a request like this?

SCO should have died a long time ago. They have counter claims against them which they will never be able to pay.

The problem with SCO is that they are heavily funded by MS and some other anti-Linux lobbyists.

I have read the court rulings on various cases concerning them in the past few months and they are indeed done for, they drag the court cases out because once it is finalized all the funding stops and they will have to file for bankruptcy and finally close their doors.
This is just a last ditch attempt to manhandle the justice system and should they win the judgement the other side will just appeal and so on ad infinitum.
