ok, now i see your irrelevant point. it doesn't matter what crime he was trying to cover up. the crimes he was charged with, and for which there was clear evidence, involved falsifying business records. those are felonies, and he was found guilty. i know you'd like him to get off the hook, but he did the deeds and he was caught. yes, he was slimy in other ways, otherwise he wouldn't have done what he did, but they couldn't prove that and they didn't have to. why that makes you feel better is probably what you should be asking yourself.
