what happened in the defamation case

The DUI case against a lawyer for radio shock jock Todd "MJ" Schnitt will be dismissed after an investigation concluded there was evidence of a possible setup by lawyers for Bubba the Love Sponge Clem and Tampa Police.

Charles Phillip Campbell Jr., represented Schnitt during his doomed defamation case against fellow radio bad boy, Clem, earlier this year. One evening after court during the trial over the lawsuit, Campbell was drinking at Malio's Steakhouse. Schnitt's attorneys said a woman Campbell didn't know was a legal assistant in the office of Adams and Diaco, a law firm representing Clem, bought Campbell at least one drink then asked Campbell to move her car.

A lawyer in the Diaco firm, Adam Filthaut, cellphone cases,alerted a friend in the Tampa Police Department that Campbell had been drinking at Malio's and would be driving home, police testified.

Schnitt's legal team said Campbell was set up by Clem's attorneys. Clem's legal team said it had done nothing improper.

The DUI case is being handled by the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office because Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober's office had a conflict of interest.

The FBI has also said it was investigating whether Campell's civil rights were violated.

Investigators will "analyze all of the facts related to this matter and follow the evidence to a logical conclusion to determine if any federal laws have been violated," said FBI special agent Dave Couvertier in May.

The FBI has seized the cellphone from the police officer who pulled Campbell over in January.

"The Tampa Police Department is working with the FBI in its investigation to determine if there was any wrongdoing in the arrest of Phil Campbell in January of this year," Castor said in a statement.

"The DUI sergeant turned over his cellphone as part of the investigation. TPD holds its officers to very high standards and it will assist the FBI in a thorough investigation to ensure the integrity of the police department."

As for what happened in the defamation case, Clem, who had called Schnitt a "midget" and Schnitt's wife a "whore" on the air, was exonerated.

Jurors took less than three hours to deliver a verdict in Clem's favor and against Schnitt, who had filed the defamation suit against his rival.

Samsung's history and corporate culture could hardly be more different than Apple's, the iconic Silicon Valley start-up founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. Lee Byung-Chull started Samsung in 1938 as a noodle and sugar maker. It grew over the decades into an industrial powerhouse, or chaebol as Koreans call the family owned conglomerates that dominate the nation's economy and are run with military-like discipline.

Apple, by contrast, became the epitome of Californian cool, an image the company revels in. That hip image translates in China - its stores are routinely packed - but hasn't been enough to overcome the more entrenched Samsung.

A stuffy electronics bazaar in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen illustrates part of the reason why.

Samsung Galaxys and Apple iPhones of different generations sit side by side, glinting under bright display lights as vendors call out to get customers' attention. With its varied models, Samsung smartphones outnumber iPhones at least four to one.

While Apple releases only one smartphone a year, priced at the premium end of the market, Samsung brings out multiple models annually with different specifications and at different price points in China.

And those models, analysts say, are loaded with features tailored specifically for the local market: apps such POCO.cn, the most popular photo sharing site in China, or the two slots for SIM cards (Apple offers one), which allows service from multiple cell carriers, either at home or abroad.

"The Chinese just love features. They want their phone to have 50 different things that they're never going to use," said Michael Clendenin, managing director of technology consultancy RedTech Advisors. "Apple just doesn't play that game. Unfortunately, if you want to hit the mainstream market in China, and you want a lot of market share percentage points, you have to offer the Swiss army knife of cellphones."

Analysts believe Samsung's increasing strength in China is a critical reason behind its rival's possible intention to introduce globally a new and cheaper iPhone model, as well as one with bigger screens - a staple of Samsung's offerings.

A Samsung executive with experience in China told Reuters "We definitely think we're setting the pace there. They are having to respond to us."

Most audaciously, Samsung has gone after Apple not simply by offering lower priced smartphones, but by attacking its rival directly in the pricier end of the market. "We put a lot of emphasis on the high end market in China," co-CEO J.K. Shin told Reuters in an interview.
