Hung Jury in Chip Price-Fixing Case
After 11 trial days, the first thing jurors talked about when they could discuss the price-fixing case before them was the government's star witness, the forewoman said Thursday. And she was blunt about their assessment of Micron executive Michael Sadler, who testified in the high-stakes antitrust prosecution against his Hynix counterpart, defendant Gary Swanson: "Mr. Sadler, we all felt, was a lying sack of shit." One juror held out for the prosecution, and the case against Swanson ended in a mistrial.
