Re: Judge
Your best bet is to consult an attorney for specific legal advice. I don't handle criminal cases, but my understanding of the plea bargaining process is that a defendant who insists on going to trial has a greater risk of serving time, or more time. If your daughter wasn't represented by counsel, the judge may simply have been trying to make sure she understood the risks. If she was, then you should listen to that attorney.
If you don't want to do that, you can contact the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board in Harrisburg, 717 234-7911.
