Yes but you would have to establish that such a challenge was made and rejected by the judge to make the statement that the judge had anything to do with this particular jurors selection.The judge has NOTHING to do with picking jurors. Stone's lawyers knew about the forewoman, her background and her politics aren't some big secret, regardles of how Trump tries to spin this.
If the lawyers for either the prosecution or the defense object to any juror, they simply say are "unacceptable", but Stone's lawyer knew who she was and didn't object. It is only after the fact, that Trump and other attacked this juror as biased.
Again, this is yet another case of this Administration attacking and vilifying a woman of colour who doesn't do the President's bidding.
This is as corrupt as a President can be. Today Barr re-opened General Flynn's case. Flynn plead guilty, and told a judge he was guilty in his elocution. Now Flynn, who plead guilty to perjury is trying to say he wasn't guilty of lying to the FBI.
Trump is angry that his people are going to jail and those who oppose him are getting away with opposing him, and he's trying to let anyone who broke the law helping him, off the hook.
How long to you think the American people will stand for this level of corruption and criminality?
The judge has NOTHING to do with picking jurors.
She's not in the room during jury selection?
She doesn't decide whether a juror is acceptable or not?
Are you sure?
If the lawyers for either the prosecution or the defense object to any juror, they simply say are "unacceptable",
And the judge has to accept or reject their objection.
Actually, I looked it up, and the only thing the judge questions the jury on is their ability to serve, and if they are legally able to serve. Selection is left up to the lawyers.
I checked it out because I was curious.
Jury Selection in Criminal Cases
The trial judge begins voir dire by asking the prospective jurors questions to ensure that are they are legally qualified to serve on a jury and that jury service would not them cause undue hardship. For example, most states allow a student who might miss critical exams, a person who has an upcoming surgery scheduled, or someone who serves as sole caretaker of an ill or elderly family member to be excused from jury service for undue hardship.
Next, the lawyers for each side question the potential jurors about their biases and backgrounds, as well as any pre-existing knowledge they might have about the case. The attorneys can also ask questions designed to uncover characteristics or experiences that might cause potential jurors to favor either the prosecution or the defense. But the lawyers aren’t allowed to ask overly personal questions, and they aren't allowed ask the jurors how they would decide the case in advance.

In the process known as “striking a jury,” the prosecution and defense take turns arguing their challenges for cause. If the judge grants a challenge, the juror will be struck from the jury panel.
I have seen nothing that even hits that this was the case. Do you have a link?
EVIDENCE: Anti-Stone Juror Lied During Jury Selection, Tweeted About Trump During Trial
Do her lies mean a mistrial?
Do they feed your these whackadoodle sources or do you find them by yourself? I have to admit that this is the first site I've seen labelled "Tin Foil Hat" and one level below "quackery"
National File - Media Bias/Fact Check
Overall, we rate National File an extreme right Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy website based on the promotion of unproven/debunked claims and a Strong Pseudoscience purveyor based on using junk science to support claims.
Her lies? What evidence do you have that she lied? She's run for office as a Democrat. Stone's lawyers knew that. Trump is grasping at straws to discredit Stone's conviction.
But you certainly reveal a lack of knowledge about American jury trials and courts which are all over the media, TV and movies that is utterly astounding for some so political.
