But none of these 21 individuals in fact accused him. About 12 of them explicitly told the court that he was not involved."<ref name="Foreman" /> Concerning "material" evidence, Barghouti's lawyer told Foreman that “no document originated by Mr. Barghouti had implicated him in the acts of which he was being accused.”<ref name="Foreman" />
