SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge has dismissed two remaining charges against a former Orange County sheriff’s deputy who was accused of allowing a convicted murderer to have his wife join him in jail for sex in exchange for bribes.
City News Service reports the judge on Friday cited insufficient evidence and threw out bribery and accessory charges against David Lloyd Cass.
Cass said he was extremely relieved.
In July, a jury acquitted Cass of a separate bribery charge and deadlocked on the additional charges.
Cass had been accused of allowing Stephenson Choi Kim to have sex with wife Ha Nguyen in the room where attorneys meet with their clients at Orange County jail.
He was also accused of allowing Nguyen into the room without searching her, therefore allowing contraband to be smuggled in.
