Judge Declines To Recuse Herself From Roger Stone's Case

Roger Stone's defense team requested U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson to recuse herself, claiming bias after she praised the jurors' integrity. Judge Jackson denied the recusal, stating judges are not biased if their views are based on their duties. She dismissed the disqualification motion as lacking factual support, suggesting it was a public statement tactic. Stone, an associate of Donald Trump, was sentenced to 40 months for obstructing a congressional inquiry and lying. His team seeks a retrial, alleging juror bias, which Jackson has yet to rule on.
