Whether the prosecutor's conduct during the arrest and subsequent communication strategy created an appearance of bias requiring recusal.
Only the communication strategy involving disclosure of the appellant's prior convictions created an objective appearance of partiality; the arrest circumstances alone did not justify recusal.
The arrest was not attributable to the prosecutor and, by itself, did not show bias. By contrast, authorizing disclosure of irrelevant prior convictions to the press, after using wiretap information for that purpose, contradicted the duty of restraint, equality of arms, and the obligation to investigate both incriminating and exculpatory facts.
