He wasn't innocent, in the sense of the time line once the declaration of guilt was there, he was never innocent.

He was in prison prior to being found guilty of anything. Therefore, it's not irrelevant. Don't get me wrong - I am all for him being treated as he would have been under the Soviet system (firing squad)
