Not sure I agree so you might need to explain what you mean more fully. I think he gets accused of lots of
sins in the narrative. Alma certainly accuses him of lying in several places and the priest in verse 22 accuses him of what I would call sins but maybe you could say they fall under the umbrella of leading the people into whoredoms. In some sense leading the people into whoredoms is a pretty general charge.
Do you mean "sins" as formal charges in the trial ... I'm actually not sure he is accused of any thing in the trial in a formal sense... The law is silent in the whole thing ... this is emphasized by the fact the the judges never speak in the narrative.

I certainly would not be bothered if someone used those quotes in Sunday school but I would never use them personally. Fortunately, they are not canonized so I can continue to view those statements as misreadings of Matt 12:39. Would those quotes be new info to most people? Yes, I suspect you are right.
