Answer 1

Without more information, there's nowhere you could find this out for free. You need to know the jurisdiction that tried him, and then you could go to the court that tried him and see the records of what he was convicted for. There are pay sites that have gathered multiple jurisdictions' data together, but you don't want to pay. One other option would be to search newspaper archives (your local library should have access to an online, searchable database) for his name.
