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.

- ceejayoz 1y agoYou 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".

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.)
