Public pressure or criticism won’t affect the sentencing of former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone, the chief district judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said.
“The judges of this court base their sentencing decisions on careful consideration of the actual record in the case before them; the applicable sentencing guidelines and statutory factors; the submissions of the parties, the Probation Office, and victims; and their own judgment and experience,” Judge Beryl Howell said in a rare statement sent to news outlets.
