A Santa Clara County jury has acquitted James Jensen, a former sheriff’s captain, of a felony bribery charge arising out of an investigation into the processing of concealed weapon permits. The Honorable Hanley Chew presided over the month-long trial. The jury also acquitted Apple’s head of global security, but deadlocked as to the charge against the ex-undersheriff of Santa Clara County.
RLS Managing Principal and trial attorney Harry Stern expressed his appreciation for the jury’s diligence: “This was a challenging and complex case. I am extremely gratified by this great result for JJ. We had a terrific jury and the lawyers for the other defendants were phenomenal. The RLS team is very happy for James and his family.”
Captain Jensen was also very appreciative of the jury’s hard work and for the support of RLS: “On behalf of me and my family, I want to thank the jury and RLS for this outcome. We sincerely want to thank everyone involved.”
