According to Publisher's Weekly, Apple has asked Judge Cote to recuse herself from the proceedings that could determine Apple’s money damages for e-book price-fixing on the bases of showing bias in her stay of the external monitor because she included in her decision the comment that “consumers of e-books—including Apple’s own consumers—suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in harm,” and that “the federal Government and the plaintiff States were forced to expend taxpayer money to bring the harm to an end.” Also, two economists, one of whom testified on Apple's behalf in Apple's case against Samsung, have filed an amicus curae brief on Apple's behalf arguing that Apple was just acting in its own best interests.

So the Judge who found Apple guilty is showing bias. Yup. That's what we keep hearing from Apple supporters and now from the Apple lawyers was well.
