Tropicana evidence at risk? By JOHN CURRAN, AP
In a letter to Superior Court Judge William Todd on Thursday, Fabi attorney Kenneth Levin said complaints to general contractor Keating Building Corp. about evidence destruction could not be resolved despite a pair of meetings between the two companies and their forensic engineering consultants.
' . . . Keating and the demolition contractor continue to insist on a method of demolition, via hammer, hydraulic excavator and Dumpster that seems destined, by their own acknowledgment, to result in the destruction of or significant damage to nearly all artifacts designated for preservation under the protocol,' Levin's letter said.
Fabi submitted photographs of the demolition that were taken April 5 and show filigree beams and concrete slabs being broken up by excavating equipment.
