    I would think it might be excusable if this were a straight-up murder charge, which is mostly facts and evidence based. However, if they’re charging him with terrorism, which is much more subjective, doesn’t that make this a serious conflict of interest?

      No. It’s inexcusable. Even if he pooped on her lawn she should have no right to be legally judging him.

      Can’t help but be biased here. The facts fit too well. Remember, bias has to do with the perception of poor judgment. We don’t need to gamble on it.
