Martin transfers Jussie Smollett special prosecutor request to veteran judge

“I’m unwilling to recuse myself, because I don’t think legally there is any reason,” Martin said. “Because of tremendous amount of public interest in this case— and I am not unmindful that there are people in the public that believe my being on this case somehow taints the proceedings… I’m going to transfer the case.”

Retired appeals court judge Sheila O’Brien’s request to have still another judge— one from outside Cook County— appointed to hear her case, and her petition for a special prosecutor, will remain unanswered until the next hearing in the case, set for May 17.

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.

In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.

To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.

Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."
