TiVo Case Against EchoStar Headed to Jury

The Jury in the TiVo trial is expected to commence deliberations today after opposing lawyers give closing arguments and Judge Folsom gives his final charge to the jury. It is unclear whether they will deliberate at all on Friday (perhaps for a half day as Texas state departments and agencies work a half day on Good Friday). Judge Folsom denied both parties’ last-minute motions for matter-of-law judgments this morning. No settlement has been reported.
