The judge presiding over the Roger Stone case on Tuesday ripped comments from the president and his allies about the jury's forewoman as dangerous.

The juror, who testified in a sealed courtroom with the audio piped into another room for reporters and spectators, said she had followed the judge's instruction.

Stone's attorneys never asked her about her the response. It has since emerged that she'd tweeted a single story about Stone's arrest in January 2019 with the comment"Brought to you by the lock her up peanut gallery." During questioning in jury selection, the woman said she could be fair and impartial, and Stone's attorneys did not object to her service.

"I think it's a regular practice by trial lawyers these days to Google individuals on the jury panel list, wouldn't you agree?" Jackson asked. Buschel responded that the team didn't have enough resources to run such checks. In one instance, the forewoman encouraged the jury to take another look at a charge on which they had almost all decided that Stone was guilty.

She’s the one that is f ing dangerous.

Trump is just laying the groundwork for pardon.

A jury is made up of all different people from all walks of life. A representation of all American people. Or does trump only want jurors that agree with what he wants?

Jurors should be off-limits. People doing their civic duty should not have to worry that they'll be attacked in public by powerful people who dislike their decisions. Anyone, at any level, who engages in this sort of behavior should face legal penalties.

The jurist LIED. THATS A FELONY.

.... B R A VO !! B R A VO !! SAVE AMERICA’S. DEMOCRACY INTEGRITY .. HONESTY ...THANK YOU.. YOUR HONOR ...

Power corrupts.

Now that’s a judge that answers to no one

Stone makes bid for new trial alleging jury misconduct amid Trump pardon speculationPresident Trump's longtime friend and former campaign adviser, Roger Stone, makes a bid for a new trial on Tuesday. Absolutely Stone should get a new trial. That's his right. The dishonest media demonize everything. The idiots had their chance during voir dire. Obviously, like their client, they just ran their mouths. The key in voir dire is to keep the jurors talking. If the attorney is doing too much of the talking, they don’t learn anything about the juror.
