What I said was that unless they could prove he actually erased files
from his disk they would drop the case. My reasoning is simple. He is
a cab driver without much money, pursing the case further will not be
cost effective from a purely financial standpoint. The only remaining
point for them to win is to prove he tampered with the evidence.
So far they have only filed briefs. Actually going to court gets much
more expensive. At some point they may well conclude that they got
what they paid for and that spending more money to obtain a judgement
that will never be paid just isn't worth it.
