A couple of things to note here.

Did he ever actually go to prison?

The difference was that young Syd did a horrible thing which she felt awful about and then spent years not using her powers. Where as David never even accepted blame and got violently mad when confronted.

Yup. The evangelicals pushed this mess in African countries.
