RFC 9446 Reflections on Ten Years Past the Snowden...
Ross Ulbricht - the infamous Silk Road guy: 1. Arrested in 2013. 2. Sentenced in 2015. 3. First unsuccessful appeal in 2017. 4. The case reached the Supreme Court and was denied in 2018.
So - 5 years. Fewer than Assange spent in the embassy.

Nowhere near the level of complexity and political visibility as Assange's.

I don't actually understand why people who were convicted on overwhelming preponderance of evidence so often waste everyone's time with appeals.

If you're in prison for life it's not like there's anything better to do.
They can't increase your sentence anyway.
