Federal judge pushes back against Trump criticism of handling of Roger Stone case
The Hill ^ | 02 13 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

A U.S. District Court Judge in Washington, D.C., issued a statement Thursday obtained by The Hill rejecting the notion that outside pressure will influence the court’s ruling on Roger Stone’s case.

Judge Beryl A. Howell responded to President Trump’s attacks on Stone’s sentencing judge, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, assuring “public criticism or pressure is not a factor” in the court’s decision. Howell and Berman Jackson are both Obama appointees.

Howell further underscored that judges do not take sentencing lightly and said that his colleagues take all aspects of the case into consideration when they make a decision.

“The Judges of this court base their sentencing decision on careful consideration of the actual record in the case before them; the applicable sentencing guidelines and statutory factors; the submission of the parties, the Probation Office of the victims; and their own judgement and experience,” Howell’s statement read.

“Who the F___ asked for Howells opinion?”

That’s right. Isn’t she interfering as much as Trump?

Judge Berman Jackson is politically dirty. See the information now coming out about the jury forewoman whom she questioned about bias. A real hardcore leftist Democrat activist and donor.

Should have excused her when she lied.

Since so much effort was spent to produce a fair judgment, why would the Judge allow obviously biased persons ti sit on the jury and risk a mistrial?

This one ?

“ (6) A judge should not make public comment on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court. A judge should require similar restraint by court personnel subject to the judge’s direction and control. The prohibition on public comment on the merits does not extend to public statements made in the course of the judge’s official duties, to explanations of court procedures, or to scholarly presentations made for purposes of legal education.”
