Amy Berman Jackson
Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson is a direct descendant of Jacksonian democracy.
Roger Stone trial
Jackson denied Roger Stone’s request that she be disqualified from future proceedings in the case, to include whether the former Trump adviser will be granted a new trial. Stone’s attorneys filed a motion on that she be removed, arguing that she had displayed her bias in the case. The motion stated that Jackson commented during Stone’s sentencing hearing on February 20, 2020 that “the jurors who served with integrity under difficult circumstances cared.”[1] The jury foreman had been found to be a rabid anti-Trump operative and had lied during her interview during the jury selection process. Jackson refused to hold a hearing on Stone's mistrial motion before pronouncing sentence.
