OP
I've already said it twice: the prosecution should appeal for a change in who's presiding judge

someone needs to throw this nutter in the looney bin on a 72 hour hold.

(43,049 posts)7. Shouldn't, but still does. Unless they have plans for appeal...
Never easy, or even possible, with a not guilty vedict.

In most jurisdictions you have to move for recusal as soon as a judge is assigned, not after the trial has started.

(44,847 posts)12. What would it be then?
Appeal for mistrial or is there no recourse when a judge shows clear bias or indifference during a trial?
Ocelot II
(125,151 posts)13. Mistrial, probably. The prosecution can't appeal from an acquittal.

(9,303 posts)8. He and the Prosecutor know each other.... He gave him the time requested.
He is a little quirky... and appointed initially by a democrat.
