lakes Tenn to be found guilty depends on the trial ever taking place. And if you are rich enough us laywers can keep you away from any trial regardsless of crime. OJ simpson was stopped by the police fleeing in his car with a ******axe in his car after his wife and lover was killed by an axe but he was freed because US justice is none existing like stealing national secrets to sell to foreign powers no longer a problem as long as you have good lawyers also to deliberatly try to overtrow US democracy no problem im US. Lying to everybody about your fortune to excape tax payment no problem im US
