Was Joseph Smith a Conman?

The Heart of the matter.

There are many voices which dismiss Joseph Smith as a conman as if it is common knowledge. Yet Joseph Smith was never convicted of being a conman. His only conviction was for improper banking, for which he was fined. Joseph testified before many judges, and they all found him innocent. Those are the actual facts, and they are indisputable.

Why are people so quick to judge Joseph Smith as a conman? I can only come to one conclusion. They ether don't want to believe in God, or they don't want to believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God.
