Correct, but you shouldn't go to jail for immoral behaviour.
> It's perfectly reasonable to see all the facts, many of which aren't permitted to be considered by a jury, and then say, "wow,these laws are messed up, they let the powerful people get away with crimes. We should change that and hold them accountable."
The IRS does this, and it's horrible, but the accountability comes in the form of an increased tax obligation and not jail time.
Going to jail for doing something that was legal, but has become illegal after the fact, isn't something that benefits anyone but the ruling class, and isn't something that I would advocate for.
