Not only was it dismissed, it was dismissed with prejudice. He cannot be charged with that now or ever in the future.

To be fair, the charges in question were actually in an indictment, which is a slightly different case than leaving the crimes known but unmentioned.

Oh absolutely, but it's still pretty chilling that the prosecution effectively levied those allegations against him yet never charged him with them and gave him no possibility of defending himself. He might not have been convicted on it but I think you'd be hard pressed to conclude that that didn't impact the jury and the judge outright used that to substantially extend his prison sentence.

It's a shame the Supreme Court didn't hear that appeal based on the judge sentencing him largely based on something that he did not receive due process for.
