Apple's chief security executive, Thomas Moyer, was acquitted on charges of trying to exchange a large iPad donation for expedited concealed-carry licensing for employees. This decision comes amidst the backdrop of a broader corruption scandal that has impacted the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. Moyer, along with former sheriff's captain James Jensen, faced serious allegations, but Moyer's defense argued there was no bribery motive as the licenses were already approved. The case, initially dismissed, was revived by prosecutors but ultimately resulted in an acquittal, reflecting jury skepticism towards the charges.
One of the most extraordinary things about this case is that it was already thrown out once. We think that should have been a clear signal to the prosecution that they had it wrong.
Thomas had five years of utter hell. The case never looked like a bribe, this was a corporate donation. That's what made this incomprehensible as a case to us.
