  No evidence was found after lots of expensive legal discovery. If there was any evidence of guilt, they should have been able to find something that at least made them look bad, but they did not. You are correct that the proper term for a civil case is "not responsible" but frankly that sounds silly to non-lawyers, as it's too similar to "irresponsible."

    I don't think it's fair to characterize the amount of evidence as "no evidence." There are plenty of folks who think Kleiner looks bad in this case. There is not enough to reach the confidence level required for the plaintiff to succeed. That is a more accurate thing you could say.

      I saw lots of allegations but no real evidence. That was, essentially, why the case was lost: for all the things said, nothing of substance could be corroborated. I don't think they even found a bad review.... That makes it really hard for me to believe she was a victim of anything but her own imagination.

      "I don't think it's fair to characterize the amount of evidence as "no evidence." There are plenty of folks who think Kleiner looks bad in this case." There were a lot of people who decided Kleiner looked bad based purely on the word of Ellen Pao. Verbal recollections are not, however, evidence.
