U.S. District Court judge David O. Carter stopped the trial in the middle of testimony by an engineer for Echostar rival DirecTV Inc., sent out the jury and said he needs to decide whether or not to offer a "negative inference" to the jury, noting that NDS Group CEO Abe Peled (pictured) had traveled to the Santa Ana, Calif. for the trial this week but left after giving a deposition instead of remaining to publicly testify.
It is always a bad sign when a judge publicly admonishes your CEO. NDS is division of News Corp. Murdoch cannot be happy about the way this trial is going.
