> On the last day of trial, Serrin Turner, the NY lead prosecutor, addressed the jury and stated that none of the six contracted murders-for-hire allegations occurred.[28] One charge of procuring murder was originally filed in October 2013 in a separate pending indictment in Maryland (which was later dismissed in its entirety in July 2018);[8] the other five allegations were never filed.[38]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht

That makes it sound like the prosecutor said that the contracts didn't occur. The way it's worded in the source Guardian article is "The prosecutor says he does not believe any of the killings have occurred."
In other words the prosecutor is contending that Ulbricht took out 6 unsuccessful contracts.
