I am reminded of the Scott Peterson trial where, to great surprise, the assigned judge was rejected by the prosecution.

Quote: “Retired judge Alfred Delucchi is the third judge to preside over the Peterson proceedings. He replaced retired judge Richard Arnason after he was disqualified from the case at the request of prosecutors, who said Arnason was biased against them.”

Delucchi demonstrated, IMO, significant indications of senility throughout the trial, including irrational decisions and outbursts of temper.

He’s currently presiding over some trials, but won’t be assigned any news – from what I can gather.

I’m assuming you’re joking that he should be fired if he has no work right now. I think the State owes “the people” an explanation – or maybe just the judge or the presiding judge.

I do have a problem with striking judges with or without cause.

If Judge Einhorn doesn't have anything to do, he should be fired and replaced with someone the prosecutor's office can work with. Of course, that should apply to both sides of the aisle, as I've proposed before: Both sides should be able to strike judges from a case, and judges who keep getting struck should be removed. I think that's actually how it kind of works in California.
