There are only mandatory minimums -- not mandatory maximums in sentencing.
I feel like me might disagree on Ulbricht, but overall mandatory maximums make a lot of sense.
It is common that several outcomes are subject - with the defendants specific agreement - to be evaluated by a court on preponderance, not a jury. This was not judicial malpractice.
