Wow I didn't know that was an option. Just talked to hubby/lawyer and he says this would be likely.
PistolPaknMama,
If the judge did say a comment along the lines of how long Terri lasted last time and that he has time, I'm thinking (not a lawyer!) that it shows clear prejudicial disregard for the life of the plaintiff. I don't think I said it correctly, but I believe you can get the gist of it.
