Key legal question
Whether the investigating judge had to be recused for apparent bias based on his letter of 11 June 2008.
Extracted holding
The judge's reaction remained within acceptable limits and did not objectively create doubts about his impartiality.
Extracted reasoning
Hostile attacks by a party do not normally create an appearance of bias against that party. The judge merely contested the allegations and did not file a criminal complaint; this was not enough to show objective partiality.
