Honestly guys i think he's guilty as shit. They caught him as was logged into his silk road account.
His attorney is trying to put it on the guy who owned the Mt.Gox Bitcoin exchange, a guy named Mark Karpeles. But the feds have already ruled him out.

If your interested in the trial arstechnica.com has daily updates. But i think Ulbricht is going to get fucked hard at sentencing. Personally i doubt he beats the charges.
