Description
Per Curiam Petitioner seeks disqualification of the trial judge from his first-degree murder case. Petitioner's sworn allegations
that the trial judge improperly passed a note to the prosecution giving advice on trial strategy is a legally sufficient basis
for disqualification. Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition. Petitioner (defendant) was tried and convicted of first-degree murder. During the second stage of the proceedings, the jury's
recommendation regarding the death penalty resulted in a mistrial. The allegations giving rise to the recusal also occurred
during the sentencing phase of the first-degree murder proceedings.
