Never tried for murder.
Never charged.
Why not? That's a slam dunk if it were true. But it carries with it greater scrutiny by appellate courts, greater scrutiny by the press. Perhaps those accusations were bullshit.
Perhaps our prosecutors should be prohibited by law from making any accusations unless they're actually leveling charges. Just a thought.
- pakled_engineer 12y agoThe conspiracy to murder a federal witness indictment is still floating around Maryland. They used it to deny him bail but now that it's proven he is DPR they could if they wanted drive nails into his coffin and pursue that indictment. In that phony hit, the FBI was on the other end and can testify they received payment and instructions from Ulbricht to kill a witness so it isn't just a textfile diary as the only evidence like in the other murder charges (which were quietly dropped after he was denied bail).
- NoMoreNicksLeft 12y agoThe feebs are doing parallel construction of evidence. Nothing they say, claim, or testify to is credible or trustworthy. And the only reason it's trusted at all is that the judges get their paycheck from the same place. In 40 or 50 years (assuming the country doesn't become some Hollywood-movie-esque dystopia), we'll find out how they cheated to find him and lied about his crimes.
