14 DAY TRIAL // The two young men involved in the sale of an iPhone 4 prototype found in bar last year have pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of theft, according to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The DA tells Cnet that the duo, Brian Hogan and Sage Wallower, have been sentenced to one year of probation, and 40 hours of community service. They’ll also have to cough up $250 each in restitution to Apple.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe that the DA’s office initially asked for “some jail time”.
However, the judge presiding over the case “considered that Wallower had served in the armed forces and Hogan was enrolled in San Jose State and neither had any criminal record, and decided that jail time wasn’t required…. This was a couple of youthful people who should have known better,” said Wagstaffe.
