Criminal Procedure — judicial bias

Demonta Hambright appeals a judgment convicting him of two counts of intimidating a witness, his wife. The jury acquitted him of three other counts, including sexual assault of his wife. Hambright contends the circuit court’s comments at sentencing exhibited bias that should have resulted in the judge recusing herself, and the court relied on an improper factor during sentencing by refusing to accept the jury’s acquittal on the sexual assault charge. We reject those arguments and affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
