Ulbrichts Lead Defense Asks For A Re-Trial
http://bitforum.info/t/ulbrichts-lead-defense-asks-for-a-re-trial/386

Do you think Ross is worthy for a re-trial?

I think Dratel is just too desperate to turn the verdict around. Jury had their decision within 4 hours. I mean, even the jury is convinced.

The article said that they court will respond before April, PredictIt.Org should make this a betting game.

Will Ulbricht get a re-trial or not?

Unlikely. It's not clear what legal error Ulbricht. Being prohibited from testifying to irrelevant crap like the war on drugs is a no-go; the late expert disclosures are not an abuse of discretion. I don't know what other errors are being alleged, besides the Brady violations alleged in OP's link. It's not clear what the nature of the Brady claim is though, from OP's link.

There were plenty of legal errors in the case. The specific legal error that was claimed in this specific filing was the fact that some evidence was given to the defense at the last minute and as a result the defense team was not able to put on a proper defense.
