Juror angry after Fotomat antitrust settlement
Tom Black a 33 year old Escondido assistant planner rode 50 miles on his bike to vent after San Diego County Superior Court Judge Norbert Ehrenfreund announced a out of court settlement ending the 21 month Fotomat case. The 23 franchise owners sued Fotomat for 20 million with 288 trial days, 115 witnesses and 38,000 pages of testimony. Black said jurors were used as pawns and that their time was wasted as lawyers gained from the outcome. He urged time limits on civil juries and insisted settlements strip the jury of further play in the process.
