News, Etc.

This is one judge who should be recalled for unnecessarily wasting taxpayer money, but of course it won't happen because it is Reno:

Justices said the remarks were “so outrageous as to create the appearance of partiality and result in a miscarriage of justice.“

According to a transcript cited in the order, Kosach said, “Now, I can’t say in any way, shape or form that I hate the defendants, because I’m a judge. I can’t say I hate Saddam Hussein. I can’t say I hated Adolph Hitler. I can’t say I hated Ho Chi Minh. And I fought in the jungles against his boys.“

Defense lawyers immediately asked for a mistrial, arguing the judge’s statements tainted the jury pool. Kosach denied the motion.

It appears the judge never took Law 101.

You can read the opinion here. Kosach's remarks are even worse than the news excerpt.
