Lyn Ulbricht is the mother of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road website. Contrary to the government's assertions, Lyn argues that her son was hardly a criminal kingpin menacing society. Even taking the laws on the book at face value, Ross' trial was a sham, and the government's behavior was shocking.
