Two hour interview with.... Bill Mastro

[Peter_Spaeth]

A guilty plea is a conviction. And he specifically admitted it in pleading guilty. Here is a quote from his sentencing memorandum.

2 Although the vast majority of the offense conduct concerns shill bidding, Bill has also accepted responsibility
for his role in the sales of two authentic items whose condition or appearance was altered. First, Bill
acknowledged having personally altered one item, the T-206 Honus Wagner card, by cutting its side borders.
(Plea Agr. (Doc. No. 99) at 12-13). Bill voluntarily waived the statute of limitations to acknowledge this
conduct. Although the Wagner card was authentic, Bill was not honest about the alteration when he sold it and
for years afterward. Bill has now fully disclosed and accepted responsibility for the alteration, and the Wagner
card remains one of the most valued items of sports memorabilia, having resold since these allegations became
widely publicized for its highest price ever. The Government agrees that Bill’s conduct related to the Wagner
card did not involve any loss for Guidelines purposes. (Id. at 13-14).

So he's charged with it, he specifically admits to it and pleads guilty to it, but it somehow doesn't count because there was no jury trial? Alternate reality.

BTW you said he wasn't "charged" multiple times. Start with 83 and 91. Sure you also said he wasn't sentenced, but you objected to BOTH propositions, not just the latter.

PS my goalposts are exactly where they have been. Mastro was charged, admitted it, and pled guilty, to the Wagner offense among other things.
