We Knew that the judge in the Roger Stone case, Amy Berman Jackson was corrupt but we are just finding ow corrupt she really is. When it came to jury selection, the defense tried to get jurors dismissed who have an obvious bias but Jackson forced the defense to accept them anyway. The defense lawyers also tried to get the case moved out of Washington DC because he could not get a fair trial in ultra liberal DC.
Take the jury foreperson, Tomeka hart. She was a Democratic candidate for congress, she followed the Russian hoax religiously and kept close tabs on the impeachment inquiry, while posting nasty things about President Trump.
It would be bad if she were the only questionable juror but she was not. Several potential jurors in Stone’s case ended up being Trump-hating, Obama-era officials who admittedly voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 so Stone’s lawyer’s tried to strike them as potential jurors. One juror’s husband worked at the DOJ on the Russian Collusion hoax, used to take Stone down and not even she was dismissed.
A former Democratic congressional candidate whose social media accounts are replete with criticism of President Donald Trump came forward Wednesday as the foreperson on the jury that convicted longtime GOP operative Roger Stone at a trial in November 2019.
According to multiple news reports, Tomeka Hart revealed her role on the jury in a Facebook post supporting the four prosecutors who withdrew from the Stone case Tuesday in protest over a revision in a sentencing recommendation for the GOP operative.
“I have kept my silence for months. Initially, it was for my safety. Then, I decided to remain silent out of fear of politicizing the matter,” Hart wrote on Facebook, adding: “But I can’t keep quiet any longer.”
CNN first reported Hart’s post but did not note that she was a Democrat. Commercial Appeal, a news outlet affiliated with USA Today that spoke to Hart, reported details of her professional background. Those details match up with the same person who ran for Congress in 2012. A Politico reporter who covered Stone’s trial identified Hart as a former congressional candidate.
Hart, who did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment, lost to incumbent Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen in the primary that year.
