The judge has interposed himself into the case, grounds for appeal. This is like the General Flynn case where judges act as though they are the jury.

"because they sent prosecutors to question the medical examiner, making them witnesses in the case."

I'll take a guess here. But it's why I pinged a good legal mind.

A police officer does an interview with a witness, suspect, or victim. The officer can be called to the stand and be asked questions about what he was told. I think the prosecutors put themselves in this position by interviewing someone who is going to be called to testify.
