"Jury Foreman In Roger Stone Case Was Trump-Hating Russia Collusion Hoaxer
FEBRUARY 13, 2020 By Tristan Justice
Social media posts from the lead juror in the Roger Stone trial, who is “standing up” for the four prosecutors who withdrew from the case this week, reveal she was a perpetuator of the grand Russian collusion conspiracy theory in addition to showing an obvious bias against Stone.
In March of 2019, Tomeka Hart tweeted about the Mueller indictments which, at the time, included Stone.
“Ignoring the numerous indictments, guilty pleas, and convictions of people in 45’s inner-circle, some Republicans are asserting that the Mueller investigation was a waste of time because he hasn’t found evidence,” Hart wrote on Twitter sharing from a now-deleted Facebook post."...

The Grand Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory. Funny.
I've sat on several juries. One was spousal abuse. During jury selection, the judge and the defense counsel asked each potential juror if they could be fair and impartial. Some said yes, some said no. Every person in that interview process was sworn under oath to tell the truth.
I often think that conservatives have a hard time with understanding fairness. It seems a difficult concept for Republicans to grasp. They think that just because a journalist is liberal, that they cannot report honestly and fairly on a conservative issue. Many Republicans seem to think that political leanings can rule out and eliminate a person from any judgement.
I know that when jury deliberations started, I left any bias I had outside the door. I had the responsibility of the future of a person in my hands, along with 5 other people. It was not a duty that I took lightly.
Remember that Stone was found guilty on seven counts. A guilty verdict is required to be a unanimous decision by 12 people, not just one person. Also, remember that a jury foreman is pretty much just a traffic cop, that is directing a few moments in the deliberation. The foreman does not decide the case. It takes 12 people to convict, not one.

If you can't see that the vast majority of the media is strongly biased to the left, that tells me you don't have a broad enough group of sources.koobookie wrote:

12 unbiased people. The jury was tainted. You make it sound like that is OK with you. Is it?

Exactly how was the jury tainted? Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there were 11 totally unbiased people on the jury, and one biased person that hated the defendant. Since the ultimate decision was unanimous, that would pretty much indicate that Stone was guilty, regardless of any bias by the one person.
Are you saying that this one "biased" person was able to convince 11 other unbiased people to overlook the "obvious evidence that proved his innocence" and vote to convict?

BTW it is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.
