There seems to be information missing from this story:

1)If Mr. Leidecker's actions were not criminal acts at the time he engaged in them, on what basis did the prior court convict him?

2) Regardless, it should be emphasized that:

a) Mr. Leidecker does not appear to be denying that he engaged in this behavior but rather that, when he did so, it was not a crime.

b) Mr. Leidecker therefore prevailed, but only via a technicality.

Mr. Leidecker, in my humble opinion, still behaved like a jerk.

Because I'm not impersonating anyone, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to say that.
