That file is a document filed by Waymo. We should expect that the Waymo attorneys present their case in a manner that makes it appear that Uber and Levandowski are liable with 100% certainty.

The expert witness report is much less cut and dry: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3515476-Declaration-...

I don't think the expert witness report necessarily demonstrates Levandowski intended to steal the Google/Waymo project files. The Goobuntu distro was installed, which necessitates a reformat from NTFS to ext4 or whatever filesystem it uses.

It sure as hell looks like Levandowski meant to steal the files, especially with his copious 5th Amendment testimony refusals, but it's possible he didn't.

Agree. There was a good analysis of the forensic expert's testimony by some other users here:

There's a link to the testimony in that topmost comment too for those that want to read it for themselves.
