The lawsuit’s cost to Seattle citizens likely will increase, as the city hired outside attorneys to defend the litigation. City attorney’s spokesperson Marina Udodik said the office could not immediately provide an accounting of legal fees paid to those attorneys.


And Seattle ain’t paying shyt, the tax payers will be footing the bill.

If they negligently failed to protect when they were capable of doings, then they should pay. Yes, it comes from the citizens' pockets, but maybe it will inspire voters to choose different government officials who will not permit this to happen again there. Hopefully...

Apparently, the city was facing a serious spoliation issue regarding a failure to preserve text messages between city officials, police, etc...

That jury instruction is a doozy.

Failing to preserve or purposely deleting thousands of texts?

I an guessing the city was anticipating the latter rather than the former (or at least an appearance of the latter), so they jumped into a settlement.

Whistle
Quote:

The city’s efforts to defend itself were hamstrung because former Mayor Jenny Durkan, former police Chief Carmen Best, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins and a handful of other high-ranking city officials deleted tens of thousands of text messages likely relevant to CHOP, including the decision that the Seattle Police Department abandon its East Precinct and curtail law enforcement inside the protest zone in June 2020.

A federal judge sanctioned the city for destroying evidence, finding Durkan’s excuses “strained credibility” and determining that Best deleted more than 27,000 texts messages by hand.

The judge found significant evidence that the destruction of CHOP evidence was intentional and that officials tried for months to hide the deletions from opposing attorneys.

They were more worried about optics and the woke mob than they were about doing their actual JOBS.

Geez, with that kind of wanton and intentional spoliation, I am surprised the settlement wasn't higher. The city would have gotten hammered in front of a jury, but I bet the businesses didn't want to wait/front the cash for the trial to happen...

Can you post the spoilation instruction?

Usually, they assert that due to the missing evidence, all inference that could be drawn from them and the loss/destruction/deletion are to be construed against that party. Plaintiff's lawyers' dream!
