Convicted Silk Road Mastermind Ross Ulbricht Wants A New Trial

After a month-long trial and less than four hours of deliberation, a jury found Ross Ulbricht guilty of running the Silk Road in early February. But this legal story is far from over. Ulbricht’s defense is not only calling for a retrial, but is also asking for another look into the question of whether Ulbricht's Fourth Amendment rights were violated by the government's seizure of the Silk Road servers. That question is at the center of a motion to suppress evidence filed and denied last fall before the trial began.
