Because criminals who know they’re guilty usually have t he worst case. of karma. According to reports, the bewilderingly irritating Stone lost his latest bid for a new trial on Thursday after a swift denial from the judge.
US Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that Stone is not entitled to a new trial and therefore will stand trial pending a possible and highly likely 40 month sentence for federal crimes.
“The assumption underlying the motion — that one can infer from the juror’s opinions about the President that she could not fairly consider the evidence against the defendant — is not supported by any facts or data and it is contrary to controlling legal precedent,” Jackson wrote. “The motion is a tower of indignation, but at the end of the day, there is little of substance holding it up.”
