Transcript of the July 27, 2009 SCO Bankruptcy Hearing - Updated - as text

By Pamela Jones et al.

Finally, the transcript [PDF; 1.5MB] of the marathon July 27, 2009 SCO bankruptcy hearing is available to the public.

This was the longest hearing in the history of the SCO Litigation Follies, 527 pages long. It continued until 10 o'clock at night, with Darl McBride testifying. In fact, it's his swan song as CEO. And it's the one where SCO was fighting to avoid Chapter 7, which it did, but also against the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee, where it failed.

Update 2: For those of you on dialup, ausage has been kind enough to divide it into parts:

• Part 1 - Opening Statements
• Part 2 - Testimony of Ryan Tibbitts
• Part 3 - Testimony of Ken Nielsen
• Part 4 - Testimony of Darl McBride on Direct Examination
• Part 5 - Testimony of Darl McBride on Cross Examination
• Part 6 - Testimony of Darl McBride on Redirect Examination
• Part 7 - Testimony of Stephen Norris
• Part 8 - Testimony of Jeff Hunsaker
• Part 9 - Statements by LNS and Oracle
• Part 10 - Closing Statements

Isn't it great to have it divided so logically and usefully? He's even color-coded the various speakers. Erwan has done it for us as one complete transcript, so click to read the full transcript. Click on ausage's links instead, if length is an issue for you. Thank you both very much. Enjoy!
