Yes - non violent - he was smeared with allegations of ordering a hit to force him to sign a plea deal.

Those allegations were dropped with prejudice by the judge :

Didn't the judge also mock and use Ulbrichts's libertarian beliefs as cause to sentence him?

Thanks for the link, I hadn't head about the judge smacking prosecutorial abuse... although it hasn't slowed at all since then for all sorts of defendants.

I feel bad for Ross...he's been made one hell of an example of.

Justice for DPR!

He’s being tortured because he made the failed war on drugs look bad

The Western Punishment System is doing its job. All hail the government! All praise your lords and masters!

Sorry, drugs are horrendous for society. I sincerely doubt the websites users who he was helping to sell this stuff were all "upstanding citizens" either. He was definitely aiding and abetting really evil criminals. No sympathy. His rights as a prisoner should still be acknowledged though.

Wait till you discover how bad alcohol is for society…

Most illegal drugs are much less harmful

I know alcohol is horrible. Smoking too. Lot less drug users, so far, that's why. Want to keep it that way. I'm not worried so much about companies like Molson and what they're doing with their money as I am with drug dealers who also commit other crimes like rape and murder and who can keep funding that stuff by/to sell their drugs.
