Hilt Case Gets Another Judge
So, this Nicholas Hilt case is going to get another judge...
A murder case has been switched to another judge after Criminal Court Judge Doug Meyer called the defendant "the scum of the earth" and said he "deserves the death penalty."District Attorney Bill Cox asked for the change, saying, "You do not want to take a chance on possible error."
The murder trial of Nicholas Hilt will be heard by Criminal Court Judge Don Poole beginning June 5.
I'm no legal scholar, but I would imagine this is a good thing, as it is probably hard to prove that someone is the scum of the earth.
...though I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see someone try.
