		Confusion on Feb 14, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ‘Obscene’ U.S. Manga Collector Jailed 6 Months He wasn't convicted at all: he pleaded guilty. @metamemetics: OK, but you get my point :). Does anyone have a suggestion for a succinct way to say what I meant to say?

convicted=found guilty and punishment decided. He was convicted. Pleading guilty is how the majority of people are convicted.
