What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I am facing a civil lawsuit alleging that I sent defamatory message from the computer in my house. Plaintiffs filed a motion and the court approved their motion for conducting forensic investigation of my computer. The court order did not ask me to do not use my computer. The court order did not provide me any special instructions on the usage of the computer. Therefore, I was using it (almost in the same way I was using, including possible deleting or erasing unnecessary information) until the forensic details were collected from the computer.
Now the Plaintiffs are threatening me for spoliation of evidence charges. What are the merits and possible outcomes of these charges?
