There is no better example of how destructive government can be than Ross' case. He never stood a chance against the prosecution. No evidence presented by the defense ever had a chance. During his original trial the defense was not even able to bring up the two crooked government agents on the silk road, who were both found guilty. The whole case in general has been extremely one-sided and unjust so far. He was a man with an idea, not a serious criminal. Instead of discussing the impact of trust less drug markets on society, they make Ross out to be a murderer and dangerous criminal in the news, to the jury, ect.
