He frequently interrupted testimony and argued constantly with prosecutors, who sought to have him removed from the case.

I'm sure they'll send him to the judicial re-education camp and he'll come back in a few months "a better judge" that will never again exhibit "pro-defense" leanings.

You must have missed the first part. This was a case of the state vs the state in the form of police officers.

during the recent trial of three sheriff's officers accused of beating a jail inmate to death.Himel called prosecution witnesses unreliable and inconsistent. He frequently interrupted testimony and argued constantly with prosecutors, who sought to have him removed from the case.

Having a judge behave in this way makes it look bad to the community. I will bet you that rumors are flying about "the fix was in" on this case.

The acquitted officers will always have a cloud of suspicion hanging over their heads now, whether it is deserved or not.
