A funny omission is that the indictment never actually says that the wiring cabinet was locked, or how Aaron supposedly broke into it. I infer that it wasn't locked.



locked doors are never a problem for MIT students.. (and apparently even some harvard students)


But, given the rest of the indictment, I'd think that the prosecutor would be sure to throw in "Swartz picked the lock on the restricted wiring closet in order to introduce the Acer computer," since it would incline the grand jury to be more likely to hand down an indictment — unless she knew this was false.
