No, but for a conviction, they need every single juror, so even one is an issue.
One of twelve.
Once again Jim Hoft makes hay out of bullshit.
I continue to be amazed GP is still allowed to be posted on this site.
Hope his lawyers are on this
Amy Berman Jackson
Could he have demanded a change of venue, to a different court?
That was my question. In fact, I wonder if the fact that the defense didn't ask for a change of venue lessens the chance of a successful appeal.
The Obama judge should be sent to prison.
Yep, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a tax....... John Roberts.....
Well, the juror couldn’t be more anti-Trump and anti-Stone than the judge is. I guess the differenceis that the judge hasn’t lied about her obvious hatred for Stone, Trump, etc.
Do we know what he did at Microsoft?
“The question is: should a defendant in our justice system expect a fair trial?”
They should, but they can’t.
Our ‘justice system’ is just a jobs program for lawyers.
Overturned case. How can things like this happen? The judge should be impeached from the bench.

After this inane posting, I’m amazed that you are.
I've said it since the OJ Simpson trial and I'll say it again: Justice is only a question of money, how much can you afford?
So the direct answer to your question is NO.
Only in support of conviction, not acquittal.
The bottom line is that the rules for juries are downright weird, and appeals judges hate to overturn them.
In two noteworthy cases, it was decided that a juror could use a coin flip to determine guilt or innocence; but that a juror could not consult The Bible in determining it.
One juror statement that did not overturn was after the trial of a murderer, a juror said “I was willing to give him (the defendant) the benefit of the doubt until he flipped us off. That convinced me he was guilty (of murder).”
Does the judge ask the jury before the enter deliberations whether they have paid attention to both sides in the trial? IIRC, this juror admits to having not paid any attention to the defense.
He is *at least* one of twelve.
If you want to be associated with defending the charlatans at Gateway Pundit, you diminish yourself on this site.
As for me? I don’t care what amazes your simple mind.
Your kneejerk reaction to my post indicates to all the limited depth of your analysis.
I in no way am “defending” Gateway pundit” I am chastizing your flippant attitude to the seating of an obviously biased and unworthy juror by the judge. That fact is not in dispute as it has been reported by several reliable sources.
Doubt that if you were on trial your attitude would be the same.
BTW, ad hominem attacks paired with gratuitous cursing just make you look silly and mindless.
