SAN JOSE — Apple’s chief security executive was acquitted Wednesday of charges alleging he tried to broker a large iPad donation with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office to speed up his employees’ concealed-carry weapons licensing, ending the latest trial borne from a corruption scandal that upended the previous sheriff’s administration.
Former sheriff’s captain James Jensen, who was convicted in a separate bribery trial related to the scandal, was found not guilty alongside Thomas Moyer, head of global security for the Cupertino-based Apple. A mistrial was declared for ex-undersheriff Rick Sung, also a defendant in the case, after the jury could not agree on a verdict.
