Is LAtte Times saying he’s a hypocrite since these are old events? Facts, crimes, convictions.

Petty-Offense Exception May Excuse a Crime of Moral Turpitude
Immigration law provides that a crime can escape classification as a crime of moral turpitude if it is a “petty offense.” The petty offense exception applies if the penalty for the crime committed could never exceed one year of imprisonment, and if any time the person actually served in prison was less than six months.
Examples of petty offenses could include shoplifting, simple assault, or a DUI that did not involve driving without a license or damage to property or persons, depending on the law in your state.
