How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that a defendant successfully established both deficiency and prejudice since failure to file a motion to disqualify renders a trial fundamentally unfair because of the appearance and risk of judicial bias
  • finding prejudice where differing outcome was not necessarily established, but fundamental unfairness or unreliability was shown
  • “[T]he mere fact that the trial judge had once been employed by the State Attorney would not itself have required disqualification.”
  • “[T]he facts underlying the well-grounded fear must be judged from the perspective of the moving party.”
  • mere fact that trial judge had once been employed by the state attorney would not in itself have required disqualification, but disqualification is required if judge had any prior involvement with the pending criminal charges
