no error where the trial judge prosecuted the defendant twenty years ago on unrelated charges and there was no showing of bias or prejudice during the trial
“We do not presume prejudice upon a showing of an irregularity in the proceedings below; rather, we will closely examine the record to determine the effect the error may have had on the outcome of the proceedings.”
