Judge asks Apple Lawyer if he is on crack.

We knew the courtroom battle between Apple and Samsung would be epic, but
who could have guessed it would be so entertaining?

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh wondered aloud if one of Apple's
lawyers was smoking crack.

The judge was not concerned about his health, but rather frustrated over
Apple's submission of a 75-page briefing that outlined more than 20
additional witnesses Apple planned to call in the four hours it had left
before the jury.

"I mean come on. Seventy-five pages! Seventy-five pages!" Judge Koh said,
CNET reports. "You want me to do an order on 75 pages, [and] unless you're
smoking crack, you know these witnesses aren't going to be called when you
have less than four hours."

Apple's lawyer Bill Lee, took the comment in stride. "You're honor, I can
assure you, I'm not smoking crack," he said, according to CNET.

He also added that while it was possible not all the witnesses would be
called, Apple's legal team had timed the testimony to make sure they could
get most of them in, according to All Things D.

Koh wasn't buying it though, and accused Apple of wasting the jury's time.

Koh has a history of making comical remarks in the courtroom. She gives
"bio breaks" instead of bathroom breaks and has been known to ask jurors
if they need more caffeine.
