Joseph Smith was never convicted or found guilty of any crime. Yes he was accused and summoned to trial but never found guilty.
He was shot by a mob of dissenters while awaiting trial, not as an act of law, and his death is legally a murder.
The same question might be asked of all Christians - Jesus was convicted, tried, found guilty, and given the death penalty for His teachings, yet He is revered by millions.
The Bible is full of stories of prophets who were found guilty - Daniel was sent to a lions den for breaking the law. Schadrach, Meschach, and Abednego were sentenced to death by fire for breaking the law. The great King David committed adultery. Jacob was a bigamist. Joseph was sent to prison for adultery - and yet Christians, Jews, and Muslims honor and revere these great men. The Bible says that a prophet is never accepted in his own country (Mark 6:4; John 4:44; Luke 4:24; Matthew 13:57) - this has been proven true time after time.

Should the world fully understand that while god is a fabulous concept it is the belief in an earthly leader Joseph Smith and not Jesus that sets Mormonism apart from the entire world way way apart?
Well, Mormons do not believe in "Joseph Smith and not Jesus". Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. They believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that we must accept Him as our Savior to be saved. Mormons believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses, Abraham, or Isaiah. He in no way replaces Jesus Christ, nor is he an equal of Jesus. Joseph Smith was simply a representative of Christ on the earth. Most religions, even Christian religions, have some sort of earthy leader or founder, whether living or dead. This is not unique to Mormonism. Most who know anything of Mormonism understand that the belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet is what sets Mormons apart from the rest of Christianity.
