The judge presiding over the Roger Stone case on Tuesday ripped comments from the president and his allies about the jury's forewoman as dangerous.
The juror, who testified in a sealed courtroom with the audio piped into another room for reporters and spectators, said she had followed the judge's instruction.
Stone's attorneys never asked her about her the response. It has since emerged that she'd tweeted a single story about Stone's arrest in January 2019 with the comment"Brought to you by the lock her up peanut gallery." During questioning in jury selection, the woman said she could be fair and impartial, and Stone's attorneys did not object to her service.
"I think it's a regular practice by trial lawyers these days to Google individuals on the jury panel list, wouldn't you agree?" Jackson asked. Buschel responded that the team didn't have enough resources to run such checks. In one instance, the forewoman encouraged the jury to take another look at a charge on which they had almost all decided that Stone was guilty.
