If someone isn't charged and convicted of murder, they are innocent of murder. This is the core of modern justice systems, unless you are in favor of extrajudicial witch hunts based on the testimony of checks notes corrupt federal agents who were charged and convicted themselves.
- bdcravens 5y agoI agree he wasn't convicted of murder, as the charges were dismissed with prejudice. (ignoring the fact that no one was killed, so it would have been conspiracy to commit ...) I however don't ignore the context under which the charges were dropped: any conviction would be merely ceremonial, as he already has multiple life sentences from which he will never be released.
