Those charges were dropped and there is no reason to believe that the state was not lying when they laid them on him.

He definitely thought he had ordered the death of at least one, possibly more, errant employees.
I am aware that the errant employee and the hitman he hired were all FBI cutouts.
Dropping charges doesn't mean it's not true, just that the prosecutor did not want to pursue the case, in light of other prosecution available.
If he wasn't convicted, then we shouldn't talk about the punishment he deserves to get for those charges.
And there is evidence in this scenario too, is there not?
Not all evidence is created equal and the situation here where there was a functioning fair court system is quite different from situations where there isn't one. There was definitely some irregularities in the investigation, and a possibility of entrapment.
Regardless, i don't take issue with talking about it, i just take issue with saying he deserves to be punished for it when the allegations were never proven in court. He should be punished for the things its proven he did, not the things he might have done.
Ross is no moral hero, but let's not pretend he was treated fairly or reasonably by law enforcement or the court.
