Ah, that makes sense. I know his lawyer argued that he was just a dumb kid who started this as an experiment and made a mistake, but clearly as it got huge he knew what he was doing and when he paid to have people killed that is no mistake.

The article I read said he still may have a second trial on the charges of him hiring a person to kill someone because the guy he hired was a DEA agent that was undercover, however, it turns out that DEA agent was also blackmailing Ross so who knows if there will someday be more charges.
