The federal judge overseeing the trial of longtime Trump associate Roger Stone on Thursday denied his motion for a new trial that was based on a claim of juror bias.
Federal District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Stone's lawyers failed to demonstrate that a woman selected as a juror was biased against President Donald Trump, failed to disclose those views during jury selection and should not have been allowed to serve.
"The defendant has not shown that the juror lied; nor has he shown that the supposedly disqualifying evidence could not have been found through the exercise of due diligence at the time the jury was selected," the judge said.
During a hearing in late February, two jurors testified that the woman later selected as the jury foreperson never tried to pressure them during deliberations to reach any particular conclusion or told them about news articles or Internet postings that she saw. To the contrary, one of the jurors said, the forewoman insisted that the jurors be more careful about one of the counts against Stone, and to make sure the government met its burden of proof.

The day after the Election, win or lose.
Tomeka Hart the activist juror compared Trump to the KKK on her now defunct Twitter account. Hart then bragged after the trial how as Jury Foreperson she pushed every count for conviction. Court Of Appeals will be next . Obama Judge is a real piece of work..
He needs to do it NOW the election be damned !!!!
Amy Berman Jackson gets to decide? the corruption is mind-boggling.
As I recall, when OJ lost the civil trial his first appeal was to the trial judge, who turned him down. I don’t think it went any further than that.
We need a round up of crooked judges..
Time for a Pardon.
On the contrary, I am inclined to think you understand it perfectly.
A terrorist in black robes.
I will be shocked if Trump allows Stone to go to jail for even one day.
Now! Like whose going to care amongst our current mess. Just do it.
Probably money. It takes big bucks to appeal in State Courts. More in Federal.
Stone will be pardoned by Trump
Our President does not like to be criticized, that’s why.
“President Trump, everyone knows that Roger Stones only crime was helping you get elected. Why the hell havent you pardoned him yet?”
Exactly. Amy Berman Jackson trial was miss handled she clearly can’t be the judge that decided if the trial was miss handled
