Questão jurídica principal
Whether the detention judge had to be recused because he had previously stated that B. was walking 'with' A.
Decisão extraída
No objective appearance of bias was shown; the prior wording did not require recusal.
Fundamentação extraída
The statement referred to an objectively established proximity at night and could be understood neutrally; it did not show prejudice or close the factual assessment for the later detention hearing.
