Well, part of the problem is that as far as I can see he never was actually convicted of anything, because he fled before the plea bargain could be confirmed. His guilty plea was thus provisional, hence the discussion in that transcript about how he could withdraw it if the court withdrew the plea bargain on the basis of the outcome of the psych assessment of him. In effect, he's in legal limbo, neither convicted nor cleared.
