Judge Amy Berman Jackson

The execution of the sentence will be delayed until the judge decides whether Stone's request for a new trial after the jury forewoman in his case, a former Democratic political candidate, outed herself as a leftist who had posted inflammatory anti-Trump content on social media.

Judge Napolitano says that built-in bias by a member of the jury is a trigger for the judge to grant a new trial. The judge in this case is Amy Berman Jackson, and Obama appointee.

There is more to Manafort’s stiff sentence that meets the eye, including much untold information about Manafort’s Ukraine lobbying efforts which were done in coordination with Obama’s Ukraine strategy to wedge Russia’s neighbor into the EU and NATO at all costs, including a violent government coup.
