Other incidents are irrelevant to the incident at hand.

If the jury convicted them based on the facts of this incident, then I tend to believe they screwed up or had really bad lawyers.

Let's just say that when you have the full weight of the DoJ leaning against you, you better have the best lawyers around. They obviously didn't.

How do you know what the facts of the case are if, as you say, Personally, I don't trust the Union to tell the truth anymore then I trust the prosecutor to do so.? I'm going to assume that you don't believe the testimony of the drug smuggler either.
