. While I don't think what he did was smart at all, and if there's any truth to the murder for hire charges (which weren't tried in this court) I think he deserves to rot in prison, if there were any errors of law that prejudiced his defense then he is likely entitled to a new trial.

In the light of the revelations concerning SA Force, and his part in this alleged "hit for hire", and your own prejudicial view of it ( from the information that had been leaked about it), I'd say they have at least a reasonable ground to have the Judges decision set aside ( if that applies in the US)

I think in any society that believes the rule of law should trump any prejudice or opinion, he has been unsafely convicted.

Well, as a legal matter, I don't think the verdict will be overturned. It appears that most of these issues were already argued before the court, and Ulbricht lost. The government appears to have appropriately segregated the evidence from the Baltimore team and kept it out of the trial.
