Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I knew they were going to give him life. They wanted to make an example out of him. If this was a state charge he might have gotten a lesser sentence. The feds don't like to mess around to much. I am not sure why the U.S. likes to send so many people to jail and forever. He better hope for a presidential pardon later in life or something.

He just can't give up. That's really key at this point.

That's what I was thinking, but I'll bet that no future USA president would touch this case. This will only happen if evidence comes out that he truly isn't DPR and they make an HBO documentary about him. Lol.

He just can't give up. That's really key at this point. He'll give up after his retrial, or denial of one. I can't blame him to be honest. If he's locked up for life without the hope of parole what's the point? The sentence seems harsh especially considering the murder for hire charges were dropped or not included in this one.

I doubt it. He will likely pursue his appeal to the 2nd Circuit.

More than likely unless the prosecutor wants to give the guy a deal. If they offer anything like 20 years or so I would jump on the offer. But I don't know if the prosecutor is going to offer any deals. I think they want to make these guys an example.

Probably. One thing I know is he's probably crying in his jail cell now. I was wondering what was going to happen to Blake yesterday as the media seems to have completely died off around him. Maybe it'll pick back up again now Ross has been sentenced. Does anyone know when Blake's trial is set for? A documentary has already been made and is airing on TV sometime soon IO believe. It's called Deep Web by Alex Winter.

Most of us knew this was going to happen. They wanted to make an example of him. And of course they did.

I thought I heard that Blake was out of jail.

That's what I was thinking, but I'll bet that no future USA president would touch this case. There is absolutely ZERO percent chance for a presidential pardon, if Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush becomes the POTUS. If she can, Hillary will try to kill Ross inside the prison, just like she eliminated her rivals such as Vince Foster. But I can see a very small chance of a pardon, in case Rand Paul becomes the POTUS.

Life? That's bullishit. Why the fuck aren't a good portion of the CIA in prison? It's well proven they're the biggest drug dealers on the planet.

I thought I heard that Blake was out of jail. Why would he be out of jail already? I'm not sure if it'll go to trial though since he owned up to everything when caught unlike Ross. Maybe that will work in his favor but he'll still likely get a harsh sentence to further prove a point. I have no idea when his sentencing is but I'd like to know myself.

People like OJ Simpson and Oscar Pistorius have avoided any jail term at all, despite murdering innocent people. NATO bombed schools and kindergartens in 1999 (Serbia) and killed thousands of people. But no one were punished for that act. So it is not about drug dealing or money laundering. Ross was given LWOP because he dared to oppose the system.

Eh? didn't Oscar Pistrious get five years in jail? A light sentence for the crime he committed but he's still in jail as far as I'm aware.

Oh... got my facts wrong. Oscar Pistrious is currently in jail, but he will be out in just three months time. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/oscar-pistorius-wants-work-disadvantaged-5669679He was handed a five-year jail term but will serve just a sixth of that under South African laws. Honestly, I thought that he'll never go to prison, as he has got "contacts" higher up. So it is nice to see him serving at least a part of his prison sentence (although it is only for a 10 months).
