I find it amazing how quickly we forget in the United States people are innocent until proven guilty of any charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Hundreds of years ago that system along with others was set up to prevent injustice by the wise men and women who suffered through those difficult times. They left us some powerful laws to protect our liberty but few even know or care any longer......

I too am hoping for his acquittal, however looking at the evidence the government has so far presented against him, paired with my knowledge of Bitcoin, I somewhat doubt that he will be found not guilty.
If no additional evidence will be presented after today (this is not the case) then the burden of proof as beyond a reasonable doubt realistically has been met.
