Sounds like spoliation to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoliation_of_evidence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoliation_of_evidence > The spoliation inference is a negative evidentiary inference that a finder of fact can draw from a party's destruction of a document or thing that is relevant to an ongoing or reasonably foreseeable civil or criminal proceeding: the finder of fact can review all evidence uncovered in as strong a light as possible against the spoliator and in favor of the opposing party.
