His lawyer was probably very right. He's conceding on this thread a fact pattern that will, by the jury instructions, mechanically result in a conviction. He'd spent many tens of thousands of dollars to achieve the same guilty verdict, with the sweetener of a short custodial sentence.
I'm not entirely sure what the punishment Scott received actually was, but he served no time, so it sounds like his sentencing level was below the noise floor.
