Prosecutors Involved in Case-Related Media Projects Get Reinstated By California Supreme Court
Haraguchi v. Superior Court, 43 Cal.4th 706, 182 P.3d 579 (2008) Hollywood v. Superior Court, 43 Cal.4th 721, 182 P.3d 590 (2008)
Brief Summary
California appellate courts must review recusal holdings for abuses of discretion, even in capital cases. The trial courts did not abuse their discretion in finding that two prosecutors’ case-related media projects did not create conflicts warranting recusal.
