"Again, none of what I have described is an exaggeration" But it could well be a selective presentation of the evidence in order to make your case. There's a reason journalists are at least supposed to attempt to show the other side: so the reader doesn't get snowed, and the writer can keep some small measure of objectivity. Since that hasn't happened here, one should assume this portrayal is not accurate.

Based on reading the court docs [0] OP’s account doesn’t seem selective. There’s audio of the event that led to the complaint and it sounds spot on to how it was described in the blog. The court docs include lots of info but we’ll need to see the end result. But it seems like the blog post is accurate and UVA is being totally stupid and will waste a lot of money losing this case.

  First off, does every court case's records show 100% the true story? If this were true, wouldn't every court case in history be completely incontrovertible? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that just because it's been through court does not mean that the whole story is evidenced in court record. But IANAL. Second, the article goes into things that happened after the audio confrontation, and it's claimed that those are the things that led to his dismissal. I would want to know more about those things, and not just whatever evidence has been accepted by the court, or the interpretation told by this article.

    I don’t think anyone is claiming it’s 100% true or complete. But there is literally audio recording of the precipitating event that led to the court case. We probably will never know everything. But from what we know now, that’s helpful for forming opinions. The case wasn’t dismissed, and it was explicitly not dismissed and continues. 3/4 counts were dismissed. But one was not, thus its continuing. It’s inaccurate to say that the case was dismissed. And of course we want to know more, that’s a given. But in this situation we already know a lot.
