Hypothetically, they finally get a jury and he is found guilty. The media hypes it up in my opinion but would he face a grave punishment or would this just be another fine? Could he be put on probation?

I don't understand how a successor in interest (usually a purchaser) can go back in time and state that a lifetime license purchased from the original owner is invalid. I would start with that.
