"While some may consider Friday after the close timing as a way to bury the news, it is also a way to allow everyone time to digest the news without giving some an unfair advantage and without needing to halt trading. For this reason my guess is that the trial data will also be released next Friday after the close."

Ezra, could not disagree more; maybe a week from Monday before market opens, but I would be terrified if I heard sometime late next week that the news would be released after close Friday; or, lacking pre-announcement, if I saw the little "*" come on after the close next Friday, omigod! The horror!
