“‘If you vote for me,’ President-elect Donald Trump promised the delegates at the Libertarian Party national convention last May, ‘on Day One, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.’ That is eleven years so far. ‘We’re going to get him home,’ insisted Trump. Mr. Ulbricht, a libertarian cause celebre, was sentenced in 2013 to double life terms, without parole, plus 40 years. So, who did he kill? … his mother explains: ‘Ross is a first-time offender’ and ‘an Eagle Scout, scientist and peaceful entrepreneur,’ who faced only ‘non-violent charges at trial. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.’ … Will Trump keep his word?” (12/13/24)
