Roger Stone Judge Refuses To Strike Anti-Trumper From Jury Pool
Daily Caller ^ | 11/05/2019 | Chuck Ross

At the beginning of jury selection, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, said that she would not remove potential jurors solely on the basis that they work for the federal government or because of their views of Trump.

That position was tested at the very start of jury selection at Stone’s trial, which recessed early after the longtime political operative fell ill.

The potential juror served as a press secretary in the Office of Management and Budget during the Obama administration, according to Politico and Reuters. She also admitted to having a negative view of Trump.

The potential juror’s husband also currently works in the Justice Department’s national security division, which was involved in the investigation of the Trump campaign and other Trump associates, including Stone.

DC swamp trial. If the jury convicts, appeal and wait for a pardon.

A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides.

The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority who intentionally disregards the court’s legal or ethical obligations.

The deck is stacked against any Republican facing trial. Political partisans should always be excluded from a jury.

If one juror votes not guilty and does not cave, does it go to mistrial or acquittal?

That depends on what the judge had for breakfast. Total judge call there. Judges like guilty verdicts. They do not like not-guilty verdicts.

Rigged trial. Appeal should find the judge unfit for duty and have her disbarred.

I hope this judge is prepared to have their conduct scrutinized at every level of appeal.

Evil people are often stupid.

The judge doesn’t care if it gets reversed because that will happen after the 2020 election.

The only goal is to take scalps of Trump associates to play the guilty-by-association card on him.

That would leave it up to Stone's lawyer to challenge those jurors. - Tom

Verdict first, trial later. Classic leftist nonsense.

What are the restrictions on the prosecutors? Are they able to remove pro-Trump jurors?

If the prosecutors are allowed to remove pro Trump jurors while the defense cannot remove anti-Trump jurors then it is rigged.

The same rules need to be equally enforced.
