Judge denies Roger Stone's request for new trial
Source: The Hill
A federal judge denied Roger Stone's request for a new trial, a court filing unsealed on Wednesday revealed.
Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, had sought a new trial after being convicted in November of lying to Congress and witness tampering, based on the judges refusal to strike a juror.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee who is presiding over the trial, denied Stone's request last week. In her order, which was unsealed today, Jackson said it had not been necessary to strike the juror for alleged bias, and added that Stones defense team provided no reason to believe there had been a serious miscarriage of justice.

(518 posts)Why include that information? Do we now assume all judges are partisan and unfair because Trump is trying to make the courts completely partisan and loyal only to him and not to the law?
