There’s not really a need to file quickly. And it would even make sense to wait on more information such as the full medical examiner’s report.
Using Crump’s own words against him - he called this “evidence tampering.” Under Florida law (§918.13), that means altering, destroying, or concealing evidence that could be used in an official proceeding. If he really believed that’s what was happening, the logical move would be to file suit and ask for immediate relief - like having a judge order Universal to halt Stardust Racers until everything was preserved.

Instead, all we got today was another PR offensive.

He'll just use discovery to flush out any and all changes UNI made to the ride post-accident. He never had a leg to stand-on to force the ride remained closed and they know that - that's the realm of the state. There was never a chance to try to preserve the scene in some way for their inspection. They clearly at their earlier PCs didn't even know what evidence UNI had - they presumed video recordings, etc based on reasonable assumptions.

Point being, how is he going to win an injunction about evidence tampering w/o anything suggesting it? Again.. nothing has changed in the last week in the externally visible posture except UNI showing they were going to move forward with only operational changes.

You can’t force a business to shut down a ride like this just by filing a lawsuit.

And that’s exactly it. The state is already the custodian of the scene and the data. If Crump really believed Universal was destroying evidence, he’d have to back it up with more than a sound bite.

He's just huffing and puffing in hopes that Universal will just pay the family for him to shut up.

Which is why a judge couldn’t issue a temporary restraining order preventing Universal from reopening the ride.

Back to my point... why are you hourly calling out 'no suit yet' ..

I find your whole tact here pointless and boorish.

It's like you're trying to bait Crump about his claims of 'evidence tampering'(? - I haven't watched any recording of today's PC) by claiming if true, he'd file suit.. but dude, he's not here. So your open ended challenges is like talking to yourself in the woods. He ain't gonna hear it.
