I don't know anything about the underlying crimes of which Mr. Hood is accused.  That's a separate issue from whether his original trial was conducted under outrageously biased conditions.  It would be difficult to imagine a more biased set of circumstances than a judge sleeping with the prosecutor in the case.  Each ruling--each judgment call--in the case is inherently suspect.  

Here's a new question:  if any attorney in the case had actual knowledge of the relationship between the judge and the prosecutor, didn't that attorney have a duty to report the judge and the prosecutor for ethics violations?
