Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Colorado
judges conduct
recently my 18 year old son was sentenced to 16 years in prison by a judge who announced during the proceedings that he had played on the same softball team as the father of my sons girlfriend, 10 years prior., and that if anyone had a problem with that, they should submit in writing to have him removed. trusting that the public defender was providing good counsel, we did not question his decision to not remove the judge. he showed definate predjudice and gave the max sentence to this young man, ignoring the fact that it was his first offense. eric is accepted into boot camp and must see the same judge upon completion, i am his mother and am so afraid. this judge gave eric 3 more years than the accepted plea bargain. what should we do?

Re: judges conduct
Time is critical in federal cases. One has only 10 days within which to appeal. There are other Motions whch can be filed within that time period. If the appeal time has passed, however, there isn't much which can be done legally.
