Episode Details

In a surprising turn of events, two business executives, Charlie Kim and Meghan Messenger, have been acquitted of charges that they attempted to bribe a retired Navy admiral, Robert P. Burke, for a military contract. The admiral, who was convicted on corruption charges and is currently serving a prison sentence, had joined the executives company, Next Jump, after retiring from the Navy. The prosecution alleged that the executives offered the admiral a lucrative job in exchange for the contract, but the jury found the defenses argument that there was no direct link between the job offer and the contract more convincing. The case, which involved a terminated Navy contract for workforce training, has resulted in a complex and unexpected outcome for all parties involved.
