Questão jurídica principal
Whether the members of the appellate panel and the court clerk had to recuse themselves because of alleged bias shown by rejecting evidentiary motions
Decisão extraída
The refusal of the evidence requests did not reveal any objective appearance of bias; no recusal ground was established.
Fundamentação extraída
Only particularly serious and repeated procedural or material errors can justify an appearance of bias. The challenged rulings were not manifestly wrongful, and the defendant remained able to exercise her defense rights.
