While the murder-for-hire plots aren't part of the government's indictment of Ulbricht, federal prosecutors in New York are seeking to use them as evidence against him at his trial set to begin Jan. 5. The alleged schemes support the government's argument that Ulbricht conspired to protect the criminal enterprise, prosecutors said yesterday in a court filing.
How is this even possible in Both ways - not accusing and still using it against him OR using this against him without being forced to accuse him?
EDIT: All the background if anyone wish to refresh his memory:
That sounds like such bullshit. If he really attempted to murder people, they would charge him with it -the fact that they cant makes it obvious that theyre full of shit.
