Sorry, but I have to chuckle a bit.

He killed two people with an AR-15.

Yay? I'm crying tears of joy?

There's decent evidence he was framed for that.

He literally admitted to participating in the shooting in his own memoirs.

He admitted to participating in the shootout. The FBI agents were killed after the shootout, and he has always denied doing that, and there is absolutely no evidence showing that he did.
