Key legal question
Whether the request to recuse the prosecutor based on her earlier role in a 2002 case was timely and well-founded.
Extracted holding
The recusal request on this ground was late and, in any event, the earlier participation in another case did not by itself create an appearance of bias.
Extracted reasoning
A recusal motion must be filed without delay after learning the ground. Ignorance of the law does not excuse delay. Prior involvement in another proceeding against the same person does not alone establish impartiality concerns.
