Well, I've seen some opponents of Trump cite Judge Napolitano as being "fair and impartial" when he's made comments in opposition to Trump.

Now this:


For those of you wondering who this jury member is, and what they are talking about, here is a story about her:

Then here is a source for her "tweets":

Clearly a history of anti-Trump "opinion."

Now she served as the jury Foreman during Stone's trial, and she is also an attorney. That means she had a lot of influence on the direction that jury would take, with additional "credibility" when commenting on legal opinion/interpretation.

I agree that Stone has a good case for a retrial.

If Judge Nap thinks so, then there are some legit questions about the trial itself.
 
Beats me. Having a corrupt leader gets so complicated! If he'd just follow the law, we wouldn't have these quandaries.
 
As we can see there is two sets of laws, one for the elite and wealthy and one for the rest of the population.
 
Now we have the President of the U.S. and his minions insulting jury members who convicted one of his buddies. Now she, like the Whistleblower, will have to be escorted to and from work by two armed guards.

Why stop there? Why not put the entire jury's personal info on the front page of the Washington Examiner? They can headline it with "Do Your Civic Duty, And We'll Do YOU!"

This is disgraceful, utterly disgraceful. Next thing we know, every registered voter with have Dem, GOP, Ind tatooed on the back of their hand, and when called for jury duty, the defense counsel can just walk down the row and pick the jurors they want.

Roger Stone is a felonious pig, who tried to intimidate a witness against him, then threatened him: "You're dead, mother****er!"

New trial my ass. That judge is going to throw Stone's sorry ass in jail first chance she gets (after having a hearing to find out WTF the damned DOJ is doing to her judicial district in the first place).

No. :no:

If YOU were tried and I found out the jury was "tainted," then I'd support your right to a retrial as well.

You shouldn't advocate for denying a person a fair trial by an impartial jury, just because you don't personally like them and presume guilt.

I shall wait for the judge to decide whether it was fair or not. Yet the mere fact that a higher power is trying to force the outcome is reason enough to see extreme favoritism from the norm.

:roll:

Apparently you chose NOT to watch the video.

Judge Napolitano also comments on the unfairness of the recommendations made by the prosecution team based on the facts presented in the case.

The point of my thread is not only to show Napolitano's opinion on this issue, but also remind you that he has consistently been cited as "balanced" by the anti-Administration partisans due to his other "legal opinions" in opposition to Trump.

Stone didn’t intimidate any witnesses. Making vieled statements about a dog (which is a dumb animal and mere property) is not intimidation.

It’s clear the only reason he was prosecuted was because of Trump. And this jury shows extreme bias. I think there’s a good case to be made that any Republican should get an automatic change of venue out of Washington DC on request

and republican.

under this New York City Mafia Boss.
 

This was an email directly to the witness, and had nothing to do with his other threats. The judge saw all the threats, the jury saw all the threats, and both saw all the evidence; Stone is a convicted felon. Period.
 
Trump should go ahead and pardon him. Its always conservatives who end up getting in trouble, never the democrats.
 

Stones own lawyer said Stone's words about the judge could incite violence towards her.

This doesn't have anything to do with Trump and all of Stone's crimes were procedural. He wasn't convicted of a single crime not literally connected to the investigation process.

He needs to pardon Stone to keep his mouth shut.

Last I heard, lying under oath is corrupt.
 

Yeah, its amazing to see people hear argue that he didn't really intimidate anyone while his supporters are now intimidating the juror.

‘Things might happen’ to Stone if he goes to jail, like Epstein.

This is the same hypocritical trump cult that trashed Napolitano when he called for trump’s impeachment.

Why do you support and make excuses for trump lying?
 
Convicted of 7 felonies and they say let him go. So culty.
 

There is a good documentary on Roger stone called Get Me Roger Stone. You can get it on Netflix.Get Me Roger Stone (2017) - IMDb

That's not what happened. I'm sorry you read words that you didn't understand.

Yeah and this is what you fail to realize. Applying the law correctly to Republicans only in kangaroo courts with no similar consequences for democrats is only further dividing the country
