Reminds me of Al Capone. Everyone not under the spell of celebrity worship knew for a fact he was an evil murderous mobster. But what did the government nail him on? Tax evasion and prohibition charges.
Capone boasted to the press that he had struck a deal for a 2.5 year sentence, but the presiding judge informed him he, the judge, was not bound by any deal.

Capone eventually admitted, “It looks like Alcatraz has got me licked.” During his sentence, his health eventually got the best of him: He had contracted syphilis years before, and it worsened, leading to “intermittent mental disturbances.
Before his death, his physician determined that he had deteriorated to the point where he had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old.
