Ross Ulbrocht will spend the rest of his life behind bars. After being found guilty in 2015 of seven counts relating to the creation and operation of the massive online drug trafficking website Silk Road, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday rejected Ulbrochts appeal to overturn his life sentence. Ulbrocht argued in his appeal that the district court committed several errors that deprived him of his right to a fair trial and incorrectly denied his motion for a new trial. Whats more, he asserted that the life sentence was both procedurally and substantively unreasonable.
The three-judge panel on Wednesday affirmed both Ulbrochts conviction and sentence in all respects. Joshua Dratel, Ulbrocht’s lead defense attorney, didnt immediately respond to a request for comment from Wired.
