Ross' sentence is extremely harsh for a first time, non-violent offender. A double life sentence and 40 years without parole?

His mother Lynn is trying to get Trump's attention as all legal avenues have been exhausted.

What do Freepers think about this case?

He may be non-violent, but he was facilitating all the dark stuff that goes on within the Dark Web.

The Rosenbergs were non-violent, but their death sentences were well-deserved.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Ulbricht had paid $730,000 in murder-for-hire deals targeting at least five people,[28] allegedly because they threatened to reveal Ulbricht’s Silk Road enterprise.[35] Prosecutors believe no contracted killing actually occurred.[28] Ulbricht was not charged in his trial in New York federal court with any murder-for-hire,[28][36] but evidence was introduced at trial supporting the allegations.[28][37] The evidence that Ulbricht had commissioned murders was considered by the judge in sentencing Ulbricht to life, and was a factor in the Second Circuit’s decision to affirm the life sentence.[37] A separate indictment against Ulbricht in federal court in Maryland on a single murder-for-hire charge, alleging that he contracted to kill one of his employees (a former Silk Road moderator),[38] was dismissed with prejudice by prosecutors in July 2018, after his New York conviction and sentence became final.[39][40]

I think IIRC that the site was a big hit with sex traffickers.

Also, why do they try to appeal to readers by citing Noam Chomsky, the Pol Pot apologist?

“Facilitating” ain’t always victimless - it’s like saying he only gathered names of vulnerable kids, but the actual pornographers are the ones who did the damage.
