Also worth noting...
Plea deals are treated as convictions, and are part of a criminal record.
More than 90% of convictions are plea bargains. This is particularly clear in cases like Assange's, where the plea bargain specifically penalized Assange with time in prison, but also gave him full credit for time served in the UK.
In that sense, Assange is a repeat convict, both for espionage and cybercrimes / hacking.
