He pleaded guilty to count 15, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, and received five years of probation under the First Offender Act. The Florida Supreme Court subsequently recorded early termination of probation and a Georgia order discharging him without a criminal conviction. This statutory disposition is distinct from an acquittal on the facts. Wisconsin separately charged election-document offenses; its later proceeding is below.
