Judge in Trump Documents Case Has Scant Criminal Trial Experience

37. Yes they do. But the cases she cites are not "persuasive" precedent.

First, the Torkington decision predates the Supreme Court decision (Liteky ) cited in my post by several years.

Second, the Martin case (which Vance litigated) doesn't discuss the Supreme Court's Liteky decision (or any other Supreme Court decision relating to the reassignment of a judge ) referenced in my post. Moreover, the facts of the Martin case are quite different from those presented, at least thus far, by Cannon's handling of the special master case and/ or the Trump criminal case. In Martin, the 11th Circuit emphasized that because the judge had been reversed twice on the same issue in the same case and in three other appeals for repeating the same legal error, there was reason to doubt that if sent back to decide that same issue correctly "the original judge would have difficulty putting his previous views and findings aside."
