Texas judge bars BP from destroying spill records

A judge in Houston has extended an order barring BP PLC, Transocean Ltd. and other parties in the Gulf oil spill from destroying documents, e-mails and other possible evidence in lawsuits.

(snip)

(Stephen) Stone's attorney Brent Coon says he sought the order because in a previous case against BP, in a 2005 refinery explosion in Texas City, e-mails that served as evidence had been removed from the oil giant's computers.

Smart move by Stephen Stone, a BP employee. He knows his company's record all too well.
