does someone have to be shown to be fooled for the crime to be complete? say when a cop sets up a con man, no one is fooled by the attempt, but he is still prosecuted, isn't he?

You have to show the guy was trying to fool someone. That wasn't proven.

Correcting an untruth? Henri's, let alone the government, never established that the "purchase by" date meant anything. Perhaps Henri's should be indicted for wire fraud because their label misled people into thinking the dressing went bad before it did.

BTW, I am not buying any Henri's after this. Right up there with Pringles, the non-potato chip.

Guess this is one of those laugh or cry ones (probably mostly the latter):

Mom who killed kid as part of religious cult can withdraw guilty plea if her child is resurrected, as she believes will happen.

What crime? There was no evidence adduced that the second "best if" date was false. Nor any evidence the first "best if" date was anything other than puffery.
