(7-8-04) Gravel-pit lawsuit triggers e-mail hunt . "King County officials, responding to a lawsuit from the owner of a Maury Island gravel pit, hired a consulting firm to help search for deleted e-mails on the computers of County Executive Ron Sims and other officials. That search of more than 20 officials' personal computers and computer servers has turned up previously undisclosed e-mails whose significance is disputed by the two sides. Attorneys for the county last week delivered copies of e-mails discovered after consultant Electronic Evidence Discovery provided step-by-step instructions to county staffers on how to recover deleted e-mails from their personal computers' hard drives."
