I never claimed he was proven guilty or convicted. I'm only stating there is valid evidence that he paid for an assassination.

You say the case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence, but I've seen no proof that was the actual reason for dismissal. Also "not enough evidence" doesn't invalidate existing evidence, it just means there is not enough that meets very specific requirements for a conviction, not that a person could not logically conclude an event happened as a matter of personal opinion.

Again, "innocent until proven guilty" does not mean a person can't be personally judged by individuals, as a matter of personal opinion, for that person's actions simply because a court of law had not convicted him of it. Especially if there is evidence of those actions.

For example, it's clearly obvious that OJ Simpson murdered his wife and another person. But he was not convicted of it.
