Roger Stone asks for a new trial

[initforme]

If stone was an average person who worked for a living unlike me stone you would want him executed. Flipping hypocrites.

 

[beautress]

He was convicted by an Obama judge, the Obama prosecutors, and an Obama-loving lead juror. It's time to straighten out this mess or even dismissed the with prejudice and bias.

"Attorneys for Roger Stone on Friday requested a new trial, just a day after saying they were looking at potential bias by a juror who voted to convict the longtime Trump aide of lying to Congress and witness tampering..."

Roger Stone asks for new trial

Doesn't work that way sunshine.

If Stone's lawyers make a motion for a new trial, and the Trump DOJ doesn't object, there will be a new trial.

Or alternatively, President Trump can just give Stone a Pardon, no questions asked. Like he did with the tremendous veteran, Joe Arpaio, who was wrongfully convicted a few years ago. BTW, that worked out fine, Arpaio has not re-offended since his pardon

Motions for a new trial are not automatically granted. The appeals court would have to find that procedural mistakes were made during stone's trial, including the presiding judge's instructions to the jury on the law to be applied, which all must be pointed out in cites from the trial transcript. The role of a juror is fact-finder, not judge or lawyer. Actually, when jurors are selected, anyone who has a legal background is usually not selected to sit on a jury.

trumpt's pardon of arpaio was not founded in any law. There was never any finding that arpaio was wrongfully convicted of a crime of which he was actually innocent.

Durr. Arpaio was convicted of pissing off Barack Obama. Now why wasn't that less important than no law that he broke.

Arpaio was convicted of violating the civil rights of the people he incarerated - many of whom were US citizens who had no proof on citizenship in their wallets. He brazenly defied court orders which the County obtained to prevent their Sheriff;s office from enforcing immigration laws which is a federal jurisdiction ane which had cost Maricopa County more than $20 million dollars in law suit settlements, forcing City Council to raise taxes on county residents to pay the settlements. The county's insurance refused to pay the suits because of the willfully illegal actions of the Arpaio. Residents voted him out of office, but he still continued to defy court orders and was arrested. And while he was doing this, he was allowing child rapists to go free, as long as they only preyed on Mexican children. He refused to arrest any child rapist or preditor who hurt immigrants of any age, or to prosecute them, increasing predatory crimes in the country and even though ordered to by the County.

This is your hero. If my taxes went up to pay for this dipshit's asshatedness, I'd vote him out of office too.

he violated the rights of serial killers, killer drug distributors and illegals imposing large families of children onto border states costing them classroom space and overburdened teachers who have to train illegal illiterates who broke the law by not checking in with the authorities who might need to monitor their whereabouts, and by putting their needs above the taxpayers kids. *yawn*

I'm just feel so broke up when "Arpaio closed in and turned them over to the border patrol and required them to check in with Uncle. *yawn some more*.

Trump should kiss Obama's ass for leaving him a great economy and great employment numbers

You should remove your head from Obozo’s sphincter and kiss your teacher’s ass for advancing you through school out of pity. By your standards, Obozo better kiss Bush’s ass because anything he did must have been because of Bush’s policies. See how that Works?

Oh yeah I see You're as bonkers as Trump only you didn't go bankrupt 6 times and lose a fortune your dad gave you

His dad gave him $413 million dollars. He's worth $3.13 billion today.

Plus, he's the President of the United States.

Do I need to explain to you the difference between a million and a billion, or can you figure that your yourself?

Furthermore, he was a billionaire before his father died. He didn't get 1/100th of that before then.

Furthermore, he was a billionaire before his father died. He didn't get 1/100th of that before then.

Trump lost $1 billion dollars in the 1980's which his father covered. His father helped keep his casinos afloat for a while but when Daddy stopped bailing him out, he bankrupted the casinos four times. By the time Fred died, American banks wouldn't give his some a dime. The Family Trust still owns Fred's properties, Donnie wanted to liquidate but his sister refused to allow it. He's still getting income from Fred, while all of his businesses continue to lose money.

Trump's bank says he's worth $350 million dollars on a good day. Trump says he's a billionaire and lies about his net worth to push himself up the Forbes list be nobody has real idea of the number.

The sun shines and the rain rains on the rich and poor alike, doll. The truth is such a stickler, and Constitutional equality means that you can't take away what a man earns in his lifetime just because you hate him. Both wealthy and poor are entitled to whatever they earn, sock away into the American stock market if they so desire, and keep whatever it is they invested in profited. It's a no brainer: thrifty people do well in America, no matter where they came from or their grands eight generations back invested and won or lost, depending upon the time era they survived.

You shouldn't let your leaders' jealousy get the best of you. 40 years ago, Bill and Hillary had nothing. Now they have $300 million. Clinton Family Net Worth 2020 | The Wealth Record

I see you hitting hard on Trump for his wealth both earned and inheritied, but I don't see you hitting on Bill and Hill who came to Washington with a few campaign bucks left over from his successful Presidential run, and today have $300 million in new wealth from Bill's popular speeches and Hillary's Senator and Secretary of State job earnings well-invested. * Yet more yawning.*

You may have consulted the DNC headquarters' talking points about Trump's alleged net worth. Trump did not lie: He has $3.13 billion forbes donald trump's net worth - Bing

You should now have sufficient reason to hate him because he did well in the last 50 years of his life. *yawn*

[busybee01]

The OP's legal theory is that every convicted defendant who is affiliated with a political party is entitled to a new trial if the presiding judge at his/her original trial was appointed by a president of the other political party, the prosecutors in the original trial somehow have been shown to have "loved" the president of the other party (I don't know how one shows this), and anyone on the jury who voted to convict was a supporter of the other party.

The OP's theory boils down to an assertion that a defendant with ties to a political party cannot receive a fair trial, and cannot be validly convicted, unless all of those participating in his/her trial belong to or support the defendant's own political party.

Horseshit.

The Left's obsession with Roger Stone just tells us all how profoundly THEY ARE LOSING.

They have nothing else...NOTHING.

Not the economy.

Not impeachment.

No candidates.

They are losing even on social issues.

Even in the culture: PC is cratering, they have no viewers even in entertainment--see the Oscars. Around the world: THEY. ARE. LOSING.

What do they have? Keeping a leftover from the "Russia" fiasco in jail--which btw, even contradicts their "prison reform" mantra--just to save some kind of face. Roger Stone, an old man.

Fellow Patriots, do not for one second lose the forest for the trees here. While they want to wander into the weeds with you about Roger Stone, just point at them and laugh. Think about all the things they CANNOT argue, because they have already lost, and REFUSE to engage.

Let them lose. Don't help them.

Roger Stone is a key witness. He knew that Podesta's hacked e-mails would show up on WikiLeaks BEFORE they actually did. He also bragged about having a backchannel which was clearly true. That means he has a backdoor to either WikiLeaks who put up the information illegally or the Russians who hacked the e-mails. He should get the maximum sentence until he starts talking.

The RIGHT to remain silent means nothing to you I guess.

Just because you imagine that Stone knows something, you want to torture him until he confesses to what you think he did

He was convicted by an Obama judge, the Obama prosecutors, and an Obama-loving lead juror. It's time to straighten out this mess or even dismissed the with prejudice and bias.

"Attorneys for Roger Stone on Friday requested a new trial, just a day after saying they were looking at potential bias by a juror who voted to convict the longtime Trump aide of lying to Congress and witness tampering..."

Roger Stone asks for new trial

Yeah....don't be surprised after the jury revelations if the conviction isn't thrown out....

Juror 1261 in Roger Stone's case: Was justice undone?

She never mentioned that she specifically discussed Stone’s arrest and the objections to his treatment during that arrest as well as denouncing all of the associates of Trump as a virtual criminal enterprise.
------

That lack of knowledge is not surprising since multiple questions on the jury questionnaire allowed her to reveal her past protests and postings. For example, Question 30 asked whether she had any opinion about figures such Donald Trump. There also was Question 23 that asked whether she had "written or posted anything for public consumption about the defendant, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, or the investigation conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller?" Questions 34 and 35 specifically ask about her prior knowledge or opinions of the Stone case, which she referenced on social media. It is hard to believe that she disclosed these public statements in her answer and was not questioned about them.

If this information was withheld by Hart, it raises a question about the veracity of her testimony and, more importantly, the fairness of the trial.

It certainly seems Hart had no place on the Stone jury. The Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the “minimal standards of due process” demand “a panel of impartial, indifferent jurors.” Hart’s record suggests little that is impartial or indifferent. She was perfectly within her right to engage in such commentary and protests — but she had no right to sit in judgment of an associate of the president after her public declarations. Her participation raises serious arguments for setting aside the verdict, from the possibility of ineffective counsel to the denial of due process.

The burden now is on Judge Jackson to hold a hearing on this matter and address the possible need for a mistrial. And one thing will be clear: Judge Jackson, in the words of Juror No. 1261, does not “gotta love” any of this.

The Trump Boomerang effect.......it wouldn't surprise me if she ended up with jail time while Stone walks or gets a new trial.....just ask Avenatti.....
