wrong. Just because someone is convicted of a crime does not set precedent.

First they have to be convicted, then they have to appeal said ruling, the appeal would have to be upheld, and then that ruling would have to be published.

A very small percentage of appellate court or even Supreme Court rulings are published and therefore set precedence.
