John Quinn Defends His Personal Honor As Apple vs Samsung Trial Gets Crazier

tl;dr: All the materials are already part of the public record and none of it was sealed. Samsung has a first amendment right to counter Apple's public claims that Samsung copied it. Judge Koh herself recognized that the public has an interest in most of the documents in this case, which is why she rejected both Apple and Samsung's motions to seal the documents.

However, both articles go into deeper detail and are pretty fascinating reads. It looks like Quinn released the evidence in a very calculated manner (and, technically, didn't actually do anything wrong), and is now taking the "fight" to the court of public opinion.
