At a dramatic hearing Tuesday on Roger Stone’s claims that juror misconduct warranted granting him a new trial, Stone’s lawyers admitted that they did not Google the names on a list of potential jurors that was provided to them during the juror process.
Oh, great. So next Stone is going to say he had bad representation, so he wants a new trial with a new set of lawyers. He probably already has them waiting in the wings.
In this day and age and in a high profile case like this the lawyers have essentially admitted to malpractice. I am sure that is exactly what their insurance carrier wants to hear.
Judge has ruled that defense did not meet the standard to get a hearing to show jury was tainted by press reports during trial, but she will allow limited hearing anyway. She has said she'll also allow a hearing on whether foreperson was candid.
Did he? Last I read was that Cooch’s excuse for not knowing how serious the Covid had spread was that the information he was looking for was behind a paywall. It wasn’t but I haven’t seen anywhere that he figured this out for himself.
Juror A just took stand. Says no discussion on jury of media reports or evidence from outside the record. Says foreperson was elected by secret ballot from among 4 candidates
Shut this shit show down, Judge Jackson and toss his ass in prison. Ask yourself this. Would you put up with this horseshit from some two bit miscreant that wasn’t a friend of Trump and was found guilty of a federal crime? Close the case with prejudice.
