Roger Stone, an ally of President Donald Trump, may not begin his prison sentence on the expected date as his team was apparently advised of a possible 30-day delay due to COVID-19.
A report from ABC revealed that Stone's lawyer, Seth Ginsberg, was informed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Wednesday that his client's surrender date could be pushed back. BOP, however, won't comment on the information.
On April 16, Judge Amy Berman Jackson denied Stone's appeal for a new trial allegedly due to misconduct by a juror. His lawyers accused a member of the jury for giving false information on the questionnaire and for not disclosing her political bias against Trump. They presented evidence of the jury forewoman's social media posts.
Jackson, however, ruled that Stone's conviction is "final," and his team of lawyers were not able to establish that there was "a serious miscarriage of justice."
