What is the effect of a federal judge's decision in a civil case allowing a frustrated prosecutor to seek a new judge?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Uhlemann, 108 Cal.Rptr. 657, 511 P.2d 609, 9 Cal.3d 662 (Cal. 1973):
[511 P.2d 615] The result of the majority opinion is to permit frustrated prosecutors to 'try another and another judge until finally they found one who would grant what they were seeking,' a process that can only 'breed lack of confidence in the integrity of the courts.' (People v. Superior Court (Scofield) (1967) 249 Cal.App.2d 727, 734, 57 Cal.Rptr. 818, 822.)
