So did he end up being guilty?

Semantic arguments about fact are interesting indeed. In my experiences in life, if I ever asked anyone, "Did you say this?" and went on to explain what I heard, and they answered, "No I didn't say that", I knew they most likely said it. Why? Because the use of the word, "that" referred to the exactness of my question, and the words I had used. If I had interchanged a word, or used a different word, of course their response is correct, and they have not lied in their opinion. An all inclusive response would have been, "I didn't say anything like that at all". I believe it is still a lie because stringing together words in a sentence gives a meaning, or gist of what the person is saying. The same meaning can be derived from many different combinations of words, yet have the same effect.
