I think if you go looking you'll find cases where entrapment is brought up as a defense to murder charges. The bigger issue with entrapment is that it usually requires the defendant to concede the charged crime; to say he was entrapped into ordering a murder, Ulbricht would have to surrender any defense involving him not giving that order, or believing the order was anything other than what it appeared to be.
