Roger Stone deserves a new trial
By Jonathan Turley, opinion contributor — 02/22/20 10:00 AM EST
With his sentencing this week, “agent provocateur†Roger Stone finally provoked himself into prison. However, his latest “performance art†may be nowhere near its conclusion. That is not because he has a “very good chance of exoneration,†as President Trump himself predicted. Stone has about the same chance of exoneration as he does of canonization.
Rather, it is not clear that Stone received a fair trial due to alleged juror bias or, even if his trial is now finished, whether it will become undone by a presidential pardon. If nothing else, one thing should be clear. Stone holds a far greater claim to a new trial than to a presidential pardon.
