There were amazing developments in Ross’ trial this past week!
Ross’ attorney, Joshua Dratel, stunned the courtroom by saying that yes, Ross did create
the Silk Road. We were shocked like everybody else.
He went on to explain that Ross did this as a free market experiment, but realized it was
going in a negative direction, and turned it over to someone else. It was this person,
realizing he was in danger of arrest, who set Ross up as the fall guy.
Dratel later cross-examined the government’s own witness, a Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) agent who testified that for two years he was pursuing someone else. It
was only at the last minute that he was diverted to Ross. The prosecution objected in the
middle of this testimony, the jury was dismissed, and today the judge will decide if Dratel
can continue this line of questioning.
You can read more details about the first week of trial on the Free Ross Facebook Page.
Today should be riveting, as this story unfolds. We believe it is finally being demonstrated
that Ross is not guilty. We are very hopeful that he will be free by the end of the trial.
Ross’ lawyers are working around the clock and are brilliant. We are so grateful to our
supporters for helping us hire people of this caliber.
Onward,
The Ulbricht Family
