    ctrl+f "dismissed" in the article

    The article says that. > Murphy believes this may be happening from an expunged DUI case involving Ma in 2023. "That [DUI] didn't result in the finding of guilt. I understand the records were expunged," Murphy said. "The case was dismissed and expunged after he went through the process."

    That exact phrase is present in the article. Just being realist about it.

  Charges are dismissed all the time when there is guilt. It is not the same thing as innocent. There is a close to 100% chance he admitted guilt.

    You initially stated (in a now-flagged comment) the charges weren't dismissed, even contesting a word-for-word direct quote from the article. As a result, I'm not certain we should trust your "100% chance" assertions. Courts largely don't find you "innocent" outside of post-conviction exonerations. Just "not guilty".

        His attorney is being correct. If he completed that program, the charge is gone and he has a clean record. Taking a diversion plea deal, if offered, is a sensible choice, even if you're not guilty. It's substantially lower risk than fighting the charges. (I'm also not sure which article you're quoting, but that line isn't in this one.)

    If he was a white American they'd make him in charge of the whole goddamn military instead...

          Why was my original post flagged and down voted? Thanks for this, didn't know about Hegseth having that kind of problem with alcohol.
