Biggest thing I don’t see mentioned about this: the only people in a position to deal with individual cases corruption are themselves corrupt and only wish to do so in order to pursue their own political agenda. Anti-corruption is more often than not nothing more than an excuse to achieve some other goal.

It does look like he did not commit the overt corrupt act at the definition of the statute, and the judge instructed the jury badly. The article claims this is complicity in the Supreme Court, but I’m not so sure. Cases of corruption since that verdict have been interesting: https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4829&context=ndlr https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4...
