Mark Sanchez's battery case took an unexpected twist on Tuesday when it emerged that the judge who was initially selected to preside over the hearing recused herself, according to a report.
The retired quarterback, 38, was formally booked on four charges at Marion County Jail on Sunday after being released from hospital.
The Fox commentator faces up to six years in prison for the violent altercation with Perry Tole, 69, who claims to have stabbed Sanchez in self-defense on October 4.
Indiana court records show that Judge Jennifer Prinz Harrison signed a recusal order on Tuesday requesting that Sanchez's case be randomly reassigned to another court. The order did not elaborate on Harrison's reasoning for this.
James B Osborn will now rule over the proceedings with Sanchez's pretrial hearing moved forward from November 5 to October 22. The retired signal caller will be permitted to attend the proceedings remotely.
Harrison has previously come under fire from critics who have deemed her punishments too lenient, according to the Indy Star.

My guess is that she’s a Colts fan who was annoyed with Sanchez for beating the Colts in the playoffs in 2010.
rumors are that he hit it harder than Laz would
An old Jets fan?!
Or she regularly gets into drunken brawls and didn’t think she could be impartial about that.
LOL that was hilarious.
Don’t need to be a body language expert to see that Judge Jennifer has crazy eyes.
He must have given her the Dirty Sanchez on a few occasions.
Producers are already fighting over the rights to remake "The Longest Yard."
Wow does she have psycho eyes
She's likely a Jet's fan who's still pissed about this butt fumble.
