That should be sufficient to get him off the hook. As most of the people here know erasing a drive so that you can find no evidence isn't just deleting the file.
Actually not. Contrary to common belief, generally, and in practice, you are guilty until proven innocent. This is especially true in a civil claims. You have to disprove an allegation and the burden of proof against a defendant is much lower then a criminal court.
Civil claims don't use guilty until proven innocent, it's simply a preponderance of evidence.
