>Ross was smeared with false, unprosecuted allegations of planning murder-for-hire that much of the media amplified through inaccurate and sensationalized reporting. The allegations were never charged at trial, never proven, never submitted to, or ruled on by, a jury, and eventually dismissed with prejudice.

Well, that sounds dispassionate and unbiased.
And oh hey, he's a model prisoner
...none of this is utilizing actual facts, it's just assertions and emotive wording.

#5Didn't Ross hire a hitman?
The article linked here addresses that multiple times. That accusation, largely overinflated by the media, was dismissed with prejudice. He was never even charged with it.
Re: Free Ross Ulbricht
#6It was totally a political trial with many exaggerations and the government trying to "set an example".
- First-time offender
- All non-violent charges
- Two life sentences plus 40 years without parole
>Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.
>Users of Silk Road chose to exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Prohibited was anything involuntary that could harm a third party.
>Ross was not convicted of selling drugs or illegal items himself, but was held responsible for what others sold on the site.

The website is called "free Ross Ulbricht," they aren't quiet about their bias.
>none of this is utilizing actual facts,
"The allegations were never charged at trial, never proven, never submitted to, or ruled on by, a jury, and eventually dismissed with prejudice" are the actual facts.

"First-time offender, All non-violent charges, Two life sentences + 40 years without parole"
Seems pretty clear cut. I would like to take this moment to remind you that Ghislane Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years.

What does "largely overinflated" mean, and how does it differ from "completely fabricated"?
Re: Free Ross Ulbricht
#10I think people who facilitate the sale of community destroying hard drugs deserve punishment, but this trial was a farce. The media ran ceaseless stories making it sound like he was selling guns to terrorists and child abuse material. There's no way he could have been fairly judged by a jury with how prevalent that type of reporting was.
