In 25 years as a Prosecutor I only had a judge recuse themselves one time and that was because they were neighbors with one of the witnesses.

NO chance of any recusal.

Agreed, no way she’ll recuse herself.

I don’t disagree with your conclusion, but I can add that, in my 22 years doing mostly civil litigation, I have probably seen 15 to 20 recusals. Typically, the judges in our area are selected from practicing attorneys in the county (I suppose this is not unlike other states). Since these judges had been practicing attorneys for 15 or 20 years before going on the bench, they would be bound to come across litigants or witnesses who were former clients or adversaries. In fact, one time the SOB who represented my first wife in our divorce became a judge and recused himself from some garden-variety motion I had filed.
