With all its faults, I still think the US court system is the most fair in the world, generally speaking. However, it's situations like this that make me question my feelings about its impartiality. There is absolutely no way that six or twelve random people could ever truly understand the situation well enough to rule fairly for either side.

I think technologically complex cases like this should be decided by a panel of five or seven judges, with one or two impartial expert witnesses to clarify any questions the judges have about the technical aspects of the case. As difficult as it may be to find techies that are truly impartial given SCO's track record, it's got to be better than a box full of truly clueless local citizens, no matter how intelligent they may be in their own field of expertise.
