What do you think of the judge’s overall handling of Stone’s case and what has come out regarding the jury foreman?
I will say...I’m not surprised at all. We can all hope and pray that a judge will be impartial and not allow their personal world views effect their rulings and conduct while presiding over a case. But we all should realize that such is just folly. Why are presidential elections so important to each side? Because it gives the president the power to appoint judges that believe as he/she does politically. Presidents appoint federal judges, circuit judges and SCOTUS judges that share their world views, including their political views. No different here. Yet folks are outraged when the judge does just as they were appointed to do. She was appointed by a democrat hack president. Why was she appointed by Obama? Because she would rule in ways that are favorable to Obama’s views and democrats desires. No one should be surprised.
But to really answer your question...it is clear she wanted a certain outcome. No real doubt there. But then she shares the views of the tainted juror. It isn’t outrageous to her. Clearly. No surprise.
