Hi Jesse,

Here's one I found in a Stephen Leahy article online at
http://www.it-lawyer.com/articles/files/email_leahy.shtml

"In Garreth Shaw v. Hughes Aircraft Co., Shaw, a former Hughes employee,
brought a wrongful termination and defamation suit against Hughes.[102]
Shaw sought e-mail messages from Hughes that were relevant to his
action.[103]  Hughes, knowing litigation was underway, followed through
with their retention program and destroyed all e-mail messages after 90
days.[104]

The judge instructed the jury to consider the missing e-mail messages
favorable to Shaw.[105]  Thereafter, the jury awarded Shaw $593,000 in
damages, $90,000 was directly attributable to the inference of wrong
doing from the missing e-mail messages.[106]"


More cases are cited in this article:

I hope this garners more leads for you.
