John Coffee, a law professor at Columbia University, says the Bear Stearns hedge-fund case, which jurors decided in less than a day, will make prosecutors think twice before bringing a case that hinges on e-mail. Coffee once called e-mail evidence "the biggest advancement in law enforcement since the two-way radio." But the Bear Stearns case and others have caused Coffee to reconsider how powerful e-mails are in court. "The jury was totally unconvinced," says Coffee.
