I believe we know that she admitted to running for congress as a democrat. This is why Stones attornies tried to have her removed from the jury pool, but the judge would not allow it. The question now is, on the publication of social media onabout Stone, she had to have answered No. And we know this was a lie. (And is probably why she was deleting her FB posts like mad last night. )
She needs to be indicted for perjury ASAP.
On what grounds? A tweet from some anonymous person?
According to the WaPo, she disclosed her running for office. Unless evidence appears that she lied about the social media stuff, there's nothing there. Stone's team had plenty of opportunity to question and object to her being on the jury, of which she was only one vote. They tried to dismiss one juror on the case, and it was not her.
Quote:Although Hart was not named by the trial court, the juror’s identity was always known to both Stone’s defense and prosecutors throughout pretrial proceedings, and she disclosed her background, including a Democratic bid for Congress, in public pretrial jury selection proceedings.
Quote:According to a court ruling released Wednesday, Stone’s defense did move, unsuccessfully, to seek a new trial alleging bias by another juror, but not Hart.
Trump suggests Roger Stone’s jury forewoman had ‘significant bias’
And
Quote:Multiple attorneys who have practiced federal criminal law for years in various parts of the justice system emphasized to TPM that the jury selection process for a federal trial is explicitly designed to eliminate the complaint at the heart of President Trump’s accusation: bias that would prevent a juror from fairly weighing the facts and law of a case.
Defense attorneys and prosecutors submit questions to the judge, who creates a questionnaire for jurors designed to suss out aspects of their background, information diet, and views related to the case at hand.
“The whole process is designed to flag potential bias,” Timothy Heaphy, a former U.S. Attorney who is now general counsel for the University of Virginia, told TPM.
This occurred in the Stone case. Defense attorneys were also granted peremptory strikes, which allows jurors to be stricken for any permissible reason.
All The Ways Trump Is Dead Wrong About Juror Bias In Roger Stone Case
Show me proof she lied on her questionnaire and then we'll talk. Until then...
Why would that matter. If she did its a mistrial. If she didnt, then the judge has given Stone a clear judicial error to appeal. She had no business on the jury and if the judge knew those details and refused to strike her--then thats fairly clear proof she was not doing her job correctly. Its undeniable that the women had no business being on the jury---the answers on the questionaire will only tells us who to blame for her being there.
