Judge Napolitano and Alan Dershowitz Call for a New Trial for Roger Stone

Roger Stone

Judge Andrew Napolitano said on Thursday that former Trump adviser Roger Stone deserves a new trial in light of resurfaced tweets that indicate partisanship and “inherent bias” from a jury member against Stone.

In a tweet, Alan Dershowitz supported the Judge's statement:

All civil libertarians who care about non partisan justice should support a new trial for Roger Stone based on this new information about a biased juror. Let’s hear from real, non partisan, civil libertarians. https://t.co/3jDQ6Kbjuo

FOX News reports:

Former Memphis City Schools Board President Tomeka Hart revealed Wednesday that she was the foreperson of the jury that convicted former Trump adviser Roger Stone on obstruction charges last year -- and soon afterward, her history of Democratic activism and a string of her anti-Trump, left-wing social media posts came to light.

Hart even posted specifically about the Stone case before she voted to convict, as she retweeted an argument mocking those who considered Stone's dramatic arrest in a predawn raid by a federal tactical team to be excessive force. She also suggested President Trump and his supporters are racist and praised the investigation conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which ultimately led to Stone's prosecution.

Here is Tucker Carlson putting the demand of the prosecutors for Roger Stone to get 7 to 9 years in perspective:

And I remind you once again, no one has gone after the crony establishment ruling elite, both Republican and Democrat, the way Roger Stone has. He has written many books against the establishment. That's why they ALL want him taken down.

• The Bush Crime Family: The Inside Story of an American Dynasty (Stone with  Saint John Hunt )
• The Clintons' War on Women (Stone with Robert Morrow)
• The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ (Stone with Mike Colapietro)

Roger Stone is the Nathan Hale of our age in terms of patriotic zeal. Let us hope his fate does not end up the way Hale's did.

Napolitano, Dershowitz and Carlson are right on this one, a grave injustice has been done against Stone on many different levels.
