Roger Stone asks for new trial
By John Kruzel - 02/14/20 05:29 PM EST

Attorneys for Roger Stone on Friday requested a new trial, a day after saying they were looking at potential bias by a juror who voted to convict the longtime Trump associate of lying to Congress and witness tampering.

The request also comes after President Trump accused the juror of harboring “significant bias” following reports that her social media activity contained posts that were critical of Trump.

“Now it looks like the fore person in the jury, in the Roger Stone case, had significant bias. Add that to everything else, and this is not looking good for the “Justice” Department. @foxandfriends @FoxNews,” Trump tweeted Thursday.

Stone’s attorneys would not reveal the contents of the motion, which was filed under seal to protect sensitive information, saying only that an un-redacted version will be submitted later for public filing.

A new trial is what should happen, between a Hate-Trumper being jury foreman and the judge's misconduct in turning down valid challenges to potential jurors. But the judge who committed the misconduct is the one who will rule on the motion.

They should request a change of venue or they will get the same verdict in DC
