Silk Road Mastermind Ross Ulbricht Convicted of All 7 Charges

Poor guy is gonna spend the rest of his life with rapists and murderers.. He's gonna get so destroyed in there =(

He did try to get people bumped off. So spending time with murderers is something he shouldn't be complaining about.

Was that the worst crime he commited ?

I think generally murder or the attempt of is considered the worst crime there is, however he has not yet been charged of that. That's for another trial I believe.

I think he was charged with attempted murder in this trial. The Maryland indictment against him includes two charges related to attempted murder: one charge for attempted murder of a federal witness, and another charge for use of interstate commerce to facilitate murder-for-hire.

If no human being comes forward with the claim, "Ross threatened me. I want protection and retribution," and verifies it on the stand in open court, it's all hearsay. Ross can get out of it by requiring someone to come forward with a claim of attempted murder, and verify it on the stand.

Wow, if only his defense lawyers would have thought of that! Roll Eyes

They don't need someone to say Ross threatened him when they have all the evidence of him trying to hire a hitman. That's the opposite of hearsay, that's direct evidence. What you're describing is a defense for assault. He wasn't charged with assault, he was charged with attempted murder, and a murder-for-hire plot. Your legal ideas continue to be simplistic.

Some of the defense attorneys may have thought of that. But they are disallowed from defending that way by their position as officers of the court and by the judge.

There are several different kinds of courts. Ross is in a civil court hearing. If he fires his attorneys, and stands present as a man, not represented by himself or anyone else, the law is that he needs to be answered by a man/woman who was harmed or damaged.

You and I and the world may know in our hearts that he is guilty of the worst kinds of sins and crimes, but if he stands as a man, drawing the court over into the common law side rather than letting it remain in the civil side, there are a whole different set of rules.

This is standard law in America. He would probably need a friend passing him notes under the table, to be able to stand as a man, present, in a common law court of record.

As I have said many times, start by reading the court cases that "The Secret is most judgments are Void on their face and not merely voidable," at http://voidjudgments.com/. Then you can start to learn how to get all your buddies who are in prison for virtually nothing, out of prison, because it was a void judgment that put them there. They simply didn't know how to swing the court over into the common law.

Where are you getting your profoundly misinformed information? He is in a criminal proceeding, not a civil proceeding. None of the stuff you said is true at all, it hardly even makes sense.
