While media reports on the JDS Uniphase securities class action trial have tapered off since the opening statements, there is one place to get updated reports – Crash.net, a motorsport website. It turns out that Kevin Kalkhoven, the former CEO of JDS Uniphase and a defendant in the case, is one of the owners of the Champ Car World Series. Accordingly, Crash.net is following the trial closely, with a focus on Kalkhoven (click here, here, here, here, and here for the last two weeks of coverage).
Quote of note: “The trial is scheduled for nineteen days, which means if all goes according to plan, the evidentiary portion of the trial will end on Friday 16 November. Then, the thanksgiving week will be a ‘break’ for all lawyers and jurors, before reconvening the following week for closing arguments and jury deliberations.”
