Kentucky

Interesting issue raised in Indiana court proceeding where counsel files an affidavit with reasons why the judge should be recused in a criminal matter.  Per the Indiana Law Blog posts -

• The attorney held in contempt had "filed an affidavit alleging criminal misconduct by the judge, including patronizing a prostitute and possession of marijuana. That affidavit accompanied a motion to get a change of judge. . . . "
• The judge who was subject to the recusal motion "sealed that affidavit, saying it contained salacious and defamatory statements not related to reasons to change judges. "

I leave it to the readers to supply me with comments and information on contempt procedures in Kentucky and how that motion would fly regarding both recusal and contempt!

Sometimes YOU have to contribute a little bit.
