If the prosecutor was a friend of your Son, there might be reason for his removal. But, the victim is not a party in a criminal case. The prosecutor us not required to be impartial, like the judge is. So, under the facts you described, the prosecutor is under no duty to bow out. Hourly, Sons attorney has explained this to him.

Good luck
