I wasn’t absolving him of any crime, I was adopting the media’s voice (same defense they used on Roman Polanski).

I agree. There were PLENTY of crimes they could have tried Bill Ayers with over many years including TREASON, it wasn’t just a single botched investigation. Even then you can get a conviction without some of the evidence and a new prosecutor/investigation.
