Now, federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson is holding a closed hearing on Stone's motion for a new trial, but the first half hour will be open to the public before the closed portion begins. In the lead up to Jackson's call for a hearing on the matter, Stone's attorneys late Friday filed a motion for Judge Jackson to be dismissed from Stone's case and overseeing the bid for a new trial, citing Jackson's statements during Stone's sentencing a day earlier, which Stone's lawyers alleged indicated"an inability to reserve judgment on an issue which has yet been heard.
Earlier this month, unsealed court documents revealed that Judge Jackson denied a previous sealed motion for a new trial filed by Stone's defense team involving a post-trial objection to one of the jurors. The individual disclosed during the jury selection process that they had a legal background and had worked for the IRS.
