There's no admitted conflict at all. The judge said she has a letter that she has not shared. She proposes on that basis that the counsel might leave the case.
The trial isn't even under way. Plus, the judge just swapped places with the prosecutor. The defense lawyer would have been more than justified to file a complaint with the state supreme court!

A complaint against the judge? For what? For telling everyone in court she had received a letter of unknown veracity? And pointing out the obvious? That the defence advocate cannot be both a witness and an advocate in the trial?
Maybe the defence is trying to lay a foundation for a mistrial if he is not allowed to do both.
Anyway, the trial will probably go forward despite all the whining about bias and anti-catholicism by the defence.
