Will Ulbricht Get A Life Sentence?

[VulgusMan]

Attempted murder is typically 10 years, not life sentence. So I don't think Ulbricht is going to be in jail for the rest of his life.

ok for 10 years...
but not everywhere....

which state sentence 10 years for a murder???

in italy,
this evening,
Schettino, captain of Costa Concordia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia]
was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment!!

Yes, he's gonna get a life sentence, but I doubt he'll get LWOP, so at least he'll have a chance to be free one day. Im sure he'll serve at least 20 or so years though but still, he'll have a chance to be free and chew on some of his home made shrooms and smoke some fattys...

Good luck to him!

A "normal" guy like him will be totally destroyed after 20 years in prison sadly. He is 29 years old, that's almost half his life spent in prison by then, adapting will be very hard. I hope for his sake he was smart enough to hide a great sum of money so he has something when (if) he ever gets out.

That being said I think he will get life. The murder chargers are BS I think but even without it they got enough to put him away for good. Feel really bad for the guy, but the government want to set an example here.

Nahhh.. even normal guys adapt and learn to live the life their dealt. I'm sure hes got a few bucks stacked away but not enough to cover 20 years in prison. Anyway... Good luck to him and his family.

Trust me on this, it's really hard to get back to societiy after 20 years in prison. It's half his life with rapists, murderers, adn robbers - I do not think this will end well.

Where did you find this bullshit? Please speak to an actual attorney...It depends on the state you're in, but 1st degree attempted murder(which is what Ross did), has a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Couple that with him being found guilty of being DPR from SilkRoad, it's likely he'll get life...

it was murder conspiracy, and not murder attempt, don't?

I guess the sentences are lower for it.

He's getting life probably. Was it worth it?

The attempted murder accusation wasn't relevant to this trial. Regardless, he's likely going to get life for the sheer scale of the drug business he created and was running, not to mention all the other charges such as fraud and money laundering.

It was attempt.

They might try to make an example of him. In which case their gonna beat him with the book repeatedly
and lock him up for good. What I never understand is why these people dont run when they get the chance.

You got a couple of million illbegotten dollars, do some international research and jump on a
boat. Just Flee! I never understand why people wait around for the law, its corrupt and very dangerous.
