Paula Duncan, who said she voted to convict Manafort on all 18 counts, made the comment to CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday night.

“I feel it would be a grave mistake for President Trump to pardon Paul Manafort,” she said. “Justice was done, the evidence was there and that’s where it should stop.”

Manafort was found guilty Tuesday on eight felony financial counts, but the judge declared a mistrial on the other 10 counts after the jury could not come to a consensus. Duncan told NBC News that the sole juror who opposed a guilty conviction on those counts “couldn’t explain” why.

It has been rumored that Trump is considering pardoning Manafort despite warnings from his legal team against doing so. He has repeatedly defended Manafort as a “brave man” and said that he was treated unfairly in the investigation.

“[Manafort] should be punished for his crimes, it just shouldn’t have come about in the way that it did, in my opinion,” she said.

Manafort faces a separate trial in the coming weeks in Washington, D.C., on separate charges including conspiracy, money laundering, failing to register as a foreign lobbyist and making false and misleading statements to federal agents.
