Judge Koh is increasingly frustrated with lawyers for Apple and Samsung following the submission of a 75 page document covering 22 potential rebuttal witnesses the company wants to call.

After receiving the document Koh said, "unless you are smoking crack you know these witnesses are (not) going to be called."

Apple attorney Bill Lee responded saying, "First, I am not smoking crack I can promise you that."

Lee said that a while several witness might or might not be called, the majority would be called and they had timed their testimony to make sure they would get it all in.

Koh adamantly disagreed saying, "We're wasting the jury's time. You are being unreasonable."

"Come on, come on," she said. "This is ridiculous."

Apple said it would even waive some objections if needed. "We didn't mean to burden the court."

To which Koh responded, "What are you talking about you don't want to burden the court," pointing to the 75 page document.
