Judge gets promotion just before the start of GMax trial. Confirmation hearings are set DURING the GMax trial. The Judge seals all records. The Trial occurs DURING Christmas and the Judge harasses the jury to quickly return a verdict or be faced with longer days and weekend work.
All this and still the jury stuck it to GMax, in spite of the DOJ and Judge trying everything they could to throw the trial. Do you know why they couldn't throw the trial? Because anons/Citizen Journalists were watching every move they made. GMax guilty verdict opens the door, the door they were trying desperately to keep shut. I'll be surprised if Israel, as a nation, survives.
