Key witness asks judge not to send Roger Stone to prison by Isikoff
The witness, Randy Credico, a left-wing activist, comedian and radio talk show host, and a one-time friend of Stone whose testimony was crucial to the government’s case, told U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson that he had testimony that might have helped Stone’s defense, but he wasn’t asked about it at the trial.
“I am writing to respectfully yet fervently implore you not to send Roger Stone to prison when he is sentenced before your Honor,” Credico wrote in a letter that was delivered to Judge Jackson on Wednesday and was also sent to Stone’s lawyers and federal prosecutors. A copy of the letter was also shared with Yahoo News.
It also buoyed Stone’s lawyers’ efforts to keep their client, a 67-year-old self-styled dirty trickster, from going to jail. “We are happy with Mr. Credico’s correspondence to the judge,” said Grant Smith, a member of Stone’s legal team. “The letter speaks for itself.” “You are a rat. A stoolie,” he wrote in one email. “Prepare to die [expletive],” Stone wrote in another.
