Is appellant's attorney treated the appellant's counsel differently from the trial judge?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Chavez, B216450, Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. TA091961 (Cal. App. 2011):
Finally appellant contends the trial judge engaged in disparate treatment of his attorney. Specifically, the court told appellant's attorney to "move on" after sustaining an objection. We find it is fully within the judge's discretion to ask an attorney to move on to promote "the expeditious and effective ascertainment of the truth regarding the matters involved." (People v. Sturm, supra, 37 Cal.4th at p. 1237.)
