The charges he was found guilty of carry a 20 year minimum sentence.
He was not charged with murder because the attempt was intercepted by the police and did not occur.
The messages he wrote soliciting the contract murder were submitted as evidence as facts in the case against him and weighed heavily in his sentencing.
I don't understand why people want this guy free besides early-crypto-nostalgia.

Attempting murder is still illegal and carries a heavy sentence.
I don't want him free personally, I just want him freed on the drug charges and tried separately for the murder charges
I'm all for him being imprisoned if guilty of attempted murder, but he absolutely should not still be in prison for the charges that he was found guilty of.
