Will Ross Ulbricht get a new trial?
Description
Ross Ulbricht was convicted of running the Silk Road website and given a life sentence.
In his appeal he asks for a new trial because the judge and defense had previously not been told about corrupt FBI agents.
In October 2016 the federal court of appeal heard oral arguments.
Update: In May 2017 Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Ross Ulbricht's appeal.
Decision Logic
This bet resolves to "Yes" as soon as any court of law with proper jurisdiction grants Ross Ulbricht a new trial. Initially, we will look at major media reports, such as reuters.com, bbc.co.uk, cnn.com, etc. However, the bet will resolve to "Yes" only if the actual court opinion can be found and consulted to verify that it actually grants a new trial. Once a new trial is granted it doesn't matter if that decision then gets reversed or if for any reason no new trial occurs.
