As a result, if a judge sitting over a criminal case exhibits undue prejudice against the defendant, it may be possible to argue that the judge should not be allowed to preside over the case. In a recent judgment delivered in a DUI case, a Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dca.flcourts.org\/content\/download\/790880\/opinion\/211725_DC02_09292021_105344_i.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court<\/a> explained what a defendant seeking a writ of prohibition banning a judge from hearing a case must prove. If you&#8217;ve been charged with a DUI, it&#8217;s a good idea to speak with a Florida DUI defense lawyer to discuss your options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Case&#8217;s Background <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the defendant was charged with multiple alcohol-related offenses, including DUI (driving under the influence) with significant physical injury and property damage. He was released on bond, but was later arrested and charged with a number of crimes, including vessel homicide and boating while intoxicated.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, his bond was revoked by the trial court, and the State filed a motion for pretrial custody, citing a past DUI conviction in another state. After determining that the State met the threshold for proving that pre-trial custody was required, the court granted the application. After being acquitted, the defendant filed a petition for a writ of prohibition to prevent the assigned trial judge from continuing to preside over his criminal case. After his move for reconsideration was denied, he also filed a petition for review of the pretrial detention order. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpetersburgcriminalattorney.net\/blog\/florida-court-discusses-the-right-to-an-unbiased-trial\/#more-802\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People accused of DUI violations and other crimes have the right to a fair trial.
