Washington Federal prosecutors can't show a clip from the film"The Godfather Part II" at a trial as they try to prove to a jury that Roger Stone threatened a witness, a federal judge said Monday.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the federal district court in Washington said showing the clip -- which prosecutors wanted to do because Stone referred to it in a conversation with his associate Randy Credico, whom he allegedly threatened -- could prejudice the jury. They can't show it"because the prejudicial effect of the videotape, which includes a number of extraneous matters, outweighs its probative value," she wrote.
