Dimitrios Biller wasn’t bearing gifts when he lugged four boxes of documents to Texas that he said would prove that Toyota hid evidence in hundreds of accident cases.

A spokesman for plaintiffs lawyer E. Todd Tracy said he didn’t find “a shred of evidence” among the 9,000 documents contained in those boxes to support the ex-Toyota lawyer’s whistleblower claims. Tracy was hoping to use the documents to reopen 17 accident injury cases against Toyota.
