First BP Charges-Not the Crime But the Cover-up Again
The DOJ filed the first criminal indictment relating to the BP Horizon oil spill. It had nothing to do with the actual spill, but was actual criminal charges over an eDiscovery cover up. When something really bad happens, it is human nature to want it to just go away. Former BP engineer Kurt Mix seems to have fallen for the same temptation to try and make the evidence disappear as such well known offenders as Authur Andersen, President Nixon and Rupert Murdoch. Reportedly, Mr. Mix wiped approximately 200 relevant text messages from him smart phone after being notified that his ESI was scheduled for collection. His purported attempt to destroy key evidence in a federal investigation has elevated his role from witness to potential felon facing up to 20 years in jail. So far, the justice department has limited their wrath to Mr. Mix, but Mesa Airlines was found liable for a similar attempted destruction of ESI in In Re Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., Debtor. Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., Plaintiff, vs. Mesa Air Group, Inc., Defendant Case No. 03-00817, Chapter 11, Adv. Pro. No. 06-90026, Re: Docket No. 373 United States Bankruptcy Court For The District Of Hawaii 2007 Bankr. Lexis 3679. I hope that this case raises awareness of the importance of documented preservation protocol, custodian communications, collection technology and compliance efforts. You want to be in a position to demonstrate that the eDiscovery team clearly communicated the external and internal consequences of non-compliance while making reasonable quality assurance efforts. “But your honor, we sent the executive the exact same preservation email every quarter for every case we have. Those notices are six pages of legalese that cover every contingency and ESI source. It’s not our fault that he panicked when we told him we were coming for his iPhone.” Let’s see how far that argument gets you.

Mobile Discovery – Are You Ready For It?
A good friend shared an interesting story over the weekend about how the Michigan State Police routinely collect forensic snapshots of mobile phones during traffic stops. Apparently the American Civil Liberties Association (ACLU) is investigating the MSP’s use of the CelleBrite UFED kit during minor traffic stops without a warrant. At first, this seems outside the arena of civil electronic discovery. However, the story headline claims that the CelleBrite UFED only takes 2 minutes to image a mobile phone. The fact that they are being used by a state patrol officer during a traffic stop certainly backs up this time frame, but I could not find any performance information on the CelleBrite site. I see the new generation of mobile forensic technologies breaking down corporate ‘unduly burdensome’ arguments that have managed to exclude these devices from the discovery scope of many/most cases. After all, a plaintiff can now point to this article and ask, “Why can’t you use a similar device to preserve all custodian phones during your initial interviews?” Widespread use by non-geeks on roadside traffic stops certainly makes that a tough argument to fight.
