Judge shuts door on attempt to get a new trial for Ross Ulbricht (arstechnica.com)

Ulbricht's trial seemed like a show trial to me. He may actually have done what the government alleges, but the weird, unlikey presence of 2 federal agents performing their own crimes with Silk Road's assets calls the whole thing into question. Reasonable doubt, and all that, eh?
