    The judge and the defense attorney had run into each other one day in court and were having a casual conversation during which Amos told Miller that the defendants coming through his court were not “your regular wetbacks,” according to the complaint.

    I fail to see how a judge who refers to the people in his courtroom via slurs can be impartial in his decisions.
