It seems you have not read the trial transcript, nor the transcript of the sentencing hearing, nor the appellate court opinion.

I don't wonder, as these materials are voluminous and it took me over forty hours to read them.

But it's easier to rely on the propaganda site freeross.org, where his supporters recruit gullible people and useful idiots.

As far as the one issue of contract murder is concerned, considering the evidence in the light most favorable to Ulbricht, it is:

He paid to have several persons murdered, including innocent housemates of his target. He was provided evidence that the murders had been done, and he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins for the murders.

The police, however, were unable to confirm that the murders actually happened.

Therefore, the best Ulbricht can say for himself is that he paid to murder people, but got scammed out of his money.

Of course, if you look at the evidence in another light, you could conclude that he did murder people.

But his sentence was not based on this. The testimony of the families of young people killed by the drugs he sold is painful to read. His life sentence is fully justified and was upheld on appeal.

These are facts, not propaganda for useful idiots.

It’s simple, ask yourself, if he paid to have someone murdered, why was he never charged or sentenced for it...

I have a bridge to sell you if you think if the Government had evidence of him plotting and paying someone to commit murder they would not have charged him with the crimes, even without those charges they got him put away for life....

The Government made all types of claims about him about murder but never charged him ???

It’s a crime to engage in a murder for hire plot, why didn’t the government charge him with that crime...

I’ll have to go back and check, but the Government could never prove any money changed hands and could produce no dead bodies...in fact the government faked a murder and sent him pictures of a fake dead body and still didn’t charge him with anything to do with murder....
