My question involves criminal law for the state of:
My friend was charged with unlawful use of computer and criminal intent for deleting a company website and some files, both felonies. The 2 partners in the company had a dispute and the majority owner "fired" the other. After the majority owner realized their website was apparently down and some company files stored online cloud were apparently gone she called the cops and told them she fired an IT employee and he later deleted these files and website without her permission. The cop failed to verify her story or the other person's status as IT employee." She believes because there's nothing in a formal contract that states she offered another person ownership in her company that its not valid. There is text messages, emails, and business cards that says "co-owner." He was also introduced to other clients as co-owner and other employees would testify to the fact that she said he was co-owner. So my question is does the fact that he is co-owner negate those charges of unlawfully use of computer because as co-owner he had authority to access those files. Is this a civil dispute between 2 owners rather then a criminal offense?
