I am not a US citizen so this is the first I have heard of anything like this happening anywhere except in some developing country where no one has rights. In your position I would use any legal means I could to spread the word and gain support. Get this out there in any way you can. Not locally but nationally and internationally. Offer the story to any media that will take it. Mr Ulbricht cannot be the only victim of this travesty of justice. Tell his story to anyone that will listen and shout it at those who won't.
