He says charges are part of smear campaign against him following his lawsuit
Motorola's ex-chief financial officer, Paul Liska, said he did not destroy evidence and has accused his former employer of crafting an elaborate smear campaign against him as it fights his retaliatory discharge lawsuit, according to a document filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.
Two weeks ago, Motorola filed a motion seeking sanctions against Liska, who sued the company at the end of February. Motorola accused the executive of destroying important evidence stored on a company-issued laptop computer. Days later, Motorola filed another motion for expedited discovery, asking the court to require Liska to turn over a variety of documents and e-mails.
Liska's attorney, Sean Crotty of Coleman Law Firm, asked Monday for both motions to be denied. Judge Allen Goldberg is scheduled to hold a hearing on the motions Wednesday. Liska denies Motorola's charges of evidence destruction.
Liska's Monday filing said Motorola has hired private investigators to contact his friends and colleagues. The filing also accused Motorola of doctoring an e-mail that was included in an exhibit to its motion asking for sanctions.
