"Facts not in evidence." You're ascribing malice to the judicial system and making it sound like a conspiracy.

There's a fact - data was destroyed. An investigation may be able to determine what that data was. Either the human who deleted the data or the firmware can tell you why.

No guilt.

I delete files all the time and so do you. Describing this normal and routine occurrence using the nefarious sounding and certainly biased term "destroying data" is absurd.

Greetings,

That is one of the reasons I objected to the article - it uses emotionally loaded language. We're in agreement there. But continuing in that vein doesn't advance anyone's knowledge.
