    This isn’t a murder trial. This can have significantly adverse affects on the punitive damages.

    Just look at the Alex Jones trial for a recent example.

        That’s irrelevant to my point, which was that destroying evidence in a trial with monetary damages can result in increased damages, instead of avoiding them.

        If you’re still not getting it, you should reread the comment thread and to see the context for that example being used.
