COPA's problem is that they haven't and can't prove that CSW made any forgeries. They have no evidence that CSW is responsible for all these anomalies while CSW is giving the court plenty of justifiable reasons why bad files might exist. He has to be careful not to assburger the court too hard and go off at how bad the accusations are, so far he's doing well but he did get a bit of a warning today. If forgeries are made by a 3rd party, CSW has no answer for why they exist other than someone else must have done it since plenty of people have had access to company servers and computers, plus hackers, stolen laptops, software etc. People can say 'oh CSW is just lying!' but that's worthless conjecture and doesn't win a case.
The fact is CSW is one of the most qualified in the world on this stuff but he can't be his own witness at this stage so he has to tread the line of debunking their lesser experts without pissing off the judge by being too dismissive.
Don't forget, CSW will get his turn to present his evidence and rebuttal once COPA have finished their round. Part of this case is also the BTC Devs so a big part of CSWs presentation will be how Bitcoin works, how it was designed to work, why it works within law and why BTC isn't that system anymore. That will be a knowledge bomb that puts a lot of things into context for the judge as to why fake docs and targeted harassment have occurred over the years.
The judge isn't going to decide this case based on a few days of COPA presenting 'doubt' which so far CSW has easily provided plausible explanations for. He can't do much more at this stage than give his take because COPA have yet to show any proper proof CSW is actually responsible for what they are presenting.
