Because there was no need to, the other charges were enough to put him away for life.

Educate yourself.

The prosecutor "addressed the jury and stated that none of the six contracted murders-for-hire occurred." These charges were dismissed with prejudice.

I mean, no, they didn't actually occur, that is the good part.

That doesn't let Ross off the hook for attempting to make them occur.

Luckily, for Ross, none of them actually occurred as they would have made him eligible for the death penalty under the CCE statute.
