"bio": "Sara Hossaini came to general assignment reporting at KQED in 2013 after two winters reporting at Wyoming Public Radio. She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

He received leniency for his cooperation with authorities, White said. Last year, Amiri and Wenger were sentenced to seven and seven and a half years in prison, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government’s investigation revealed that Rombough’s misconduct stood out among related cases as “the worst of the worst,” the judge said. Rombough bragged about using his 40-millimeter impact round launcher \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985781/antioch-police-targeted-black-people-with-dogs-and-40mm-launchers-suit-alleges\">to abuse suspects\u003c/a>, and he celebrated his colleagues’ use of violence. Rombough and his colleagues then falsified police reports to misrepresent their actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel horrible about the victims, and about the other police officers who have had to clean up the job I created,” Rombough told White. “I understand why certain individuals don’t trust the police, because of what has happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12029719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12029719\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250303-ANTIOCHPOLICE-11-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Antioch Police vehicle sits in the parking lot of the Antioch Police Department on March 3, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Rombough joined the Antioch Police Department in 2017.

We’re left only with an opportunity to honor Ayden’s life and spirit by doing good,” Fang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the father cited a greater mission: “To prevent just one other family from experiencing what therapists and other grief experts call the worst loss,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fang and Liu brought a Lego tower to the press conference that Ayden had constructed two days before his death.

On the stand on Wednesday, he argued repeatedly that more than 50% of comments and responses to his posts were filled with spam accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anyone who used Twitter would realize there were a lot of bots and a lot of spam,” he said. “I definitely was complaining about bots for years; it was driving me crazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Musk, he met with Twitter executives in early May — one month after they agreed to sell to him — and raised concerns about the company’s claims that less than 5% of the company’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62571733\">then-240 million\u003c/a> daily Twitter users were spam accounts.[aside postID=news_12071615 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Tesla-Optimus-Getty.jpg']He told the jury that he was “flabbergasted” when CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal said they did not know how the company determined the 5% figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Musk posted on Twitter that the deal was “temporarily on hold” pending evidence supporting how Twitter calculated that percentage. Hours later, he posted that he was “still committed to acquisition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the initial post, Twitter stock took “the elevator to the basement,” dropping 18% over the following 48 hours, Arnzen told the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arnzen also asked Musk if, after the early May meeting, he “thought [he] could pay way less for Twitter — half the price?” He also asked the X-owner whether he was “looking at an opportunity to revisit price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk said he believed there should have been an opportunity to renegotiate if there had been “material fraud” in calculating the numbers in Twitter’s SEC filings. Musk maintained, though, that he did not make any comments to intentionally depress stock prices or get a better deal on the purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweets were intended to inform the public, he said, not sway stock prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen much bigger changes with no news,” Musk said on the stand.
