This is the D.A.'s call, not Apple's. From the D.A.'s perspective, a crime was committed and now wants to pursue. Don't see how Apple is pulling the strings on this.
It's not that difficult. Apple has filed a criminal complaint related to how Gizmodo came into possession of the iPhone, and all the DA knows is what Apple has told them.
Apple's lawyers probably aren't stupid enough to make an obviously false police report, but there's a lot of gray area they can massage in an attempt to get a look at Chen's data and generally make his life miserable.
