Given that he was never charged with those attempted murders, I’m sympathetic to the argument that it should not have been used against him at sentencing.

But practically, it always seemed to me fairly obvious that he did author those messages. Do you not think that’s the case?

Luckily most law systems in the world don't have "seemed to me fairly obvious" as grounds that you can convict someone on.

Also, you're missing any sort of source/claim to back that it "seemed fairly obvious".

Meowface’s other reply in this thread said it better than I could. My point is, separate from the legal arguments, whether anyone here genuinely believes he did not order the murders and was framed. Have you read the chat transcripts?
