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.

(42,152 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
(115,732 posts)13. Mistrial, probably. The prosecution can't appeal from an acquittal.
Ellipsis
(9,124 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.
