All the Evidence the Government Will Present In the Silk Road Trial Is Online
apexcp writes: In less than a month, one of the biggest trials of 2015 will begin in New York City. The full list of government evidence and defense objections found its way online recently, shedding light on both the prosecutor's courtroom strategy and the defense team's attempted rebuttals. Also important is what's not presented as evidence. There's not a single piece of forensic documentation about how the FBI originally found Silk Road servers, an act the defense has called "blatantly criminal."
Author of the article here. I agree, that's not a great sentence. An editor put that in an attempt to define what the Dark Net is to readers. I missed it when re-reading it. My excuse is that this is like 5000+ words and I had just spent hours getting through everything and putting it together. To the editor's credit, he was also working long hours late at night to get this out today, so I don't blame him either. So let me reiterate that yeah, I think that's a poor definition that unnecessarily casts anonymity it a bad light. Anyone who reads other stuff I've written about privacy knows that's not how I feel. Sorry!
