Obscenity Trial Judge Recuses Self


Alex Kozinski, the obscenity trial judge who presided over the Ira Isaacs scat 'n' bestiality trial of Ira Isaacs, has recused himself.

"'In light of the public controversy surrounding my involvement in this case, I have concluded that there is a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial,' said Alex Kozinski, chief judge for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. 'I will recuse myself from further participation in the case and will ask the chief judge of the district court to reassign it to another judge.'"

Boy, Yale must be in a lot of trouble.
