Many people in the above thread were not convinced. > Angela Chuang, a federal public defender representing Abouammo, told jurors the case was a product of a botched investigation, and Twitter’s careless handling of its users’ data. The US allowed the real target of its investigation, Abouammo’s alleged co-conspirator, Ali Alzabarah, who worked at Twitter as an engineer, to flee to Saudi Arabia despite being under surveillance, Chuang said. > “Both the government and Twitter need a way to save face,” Chuang told the jury. The US let its primary suspect escape and Twitter threw Abouammo “under the bus,” she said. “This case is the best they could come up with?” she asked.
