Damn...I forgot completely that he died shortly after being convicted.
He was convicted, and as you point out, if the abatement isn't pursued, the conviction will stand.
Exactly what "crime-ness" might mean I do not know. Behavior is recognized as criminal or not through the operation of the criminal justice system.

Failing to understand meaning utterly precludes understanding words; they do not stand alone; they are signs pointing to meaning.
