California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Navarro, F056935, No. VCF187188 (Cal. App. 2010):
In total, while it may be true that some of the trial court's comments "'would have been better left unsaid, '" we do not believe the court's behavior "'was so prejudicial that it denied [appellant] a fair, as opposed to a perfect, trial.' [Citation.]" (People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 81.)
