Yes. He never actually tried to hire a hit. The false allegation was used to juice up the sentence to life in prison x 2 + 40 years.

Even if we assume that Dread Pirate Robert's wasn't Ross, should it not be a topic of concern that someone Ross affiliated with was willing to facilitate a murder, even if said murders never happened.
Personally it's one aspect of the trial that muddies the case for me.
I think Ross was young, and foolish but he wasn't completely innocent either.
Personally, for Ross, I hope he improves, and use his skills for good.
