Judge Denies Roger Stone's Request For Retrial Due To Jury Misconduct

US District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled against Roger Stone's claim of jury misconduct, rejecting the argument that the jury forewoman was biased. Stone's legal team cited her Facebook posts criticizing Trump supporters, but the judge found no evidence of bias against Stone. The defense was criticized for not researching the juror during selection. Stone was convicted of obstruction, lying to Congress, and witness intimidation, receiving a 40-month sentence. President Trump criticized the ruling, and Stone may appeal. The gag order on Stone was lifted, allowing him to use social media again.
