- 77pt77 3y agoThat will never happen because other judges would never allow that prosecutor to win anything ever again.
- dmoy 3y agoMaybe? Probably not relevant? Family court and criminal court are pretty separated. There's not a lot of overlap in judges or lawyers, and afaik there aren't any state prosecutors going to family court to try cases.
- 77pt77 3y agoThis case already involved two judges caught trying to play backroom games. Those are the one that were caught. I stand by what I wrote. That prosecutor would get a reputation of going after judges and it would only bring obstacles into his professional or even personal life. Prosecutors know better than to mess with people with real power.
- ksherlock 3y agoIt's a family court judge so she's not dealing with criminal matters. And if for some reason that came up, the prosecutor can demand a recusal.
- qingcharles 3y agoAnd most prosecutors are looking for a judgeship. Most judges are ex-prosecutors.
- qingcharles 3y agoEven if it was, the judge will elect a bench trial and get one of his friends to decide the verdict. I saw that done on a high-profile case recently.
