Hon. Lucy Koh,
I hope all is well.
I noted with great interest and approval your settlement rejection decision. I have complimented other judges who rejected settlements.
Earlier this year, I spoke to a small group at a law school and one of the points was that, as part of any settlement, the implicated executives should have to take a "time out" from managerial responsibilities. Of course, if in this case that meant Steve Jobs, that would have been bad for America.
My view is the rich settle for money while the poor go to jail.
