My husband was wrongfully convicted of a class C Misdemeanor. My question is: my husband was accused of threating harm to the courthouse via phone. This courthouse employee that my husband spoke to (and is the one who filed the complaint) previously worked as a assistant to the Judge presiding on the case. The Judge actually made a comment that he knew her and she worked for him. Is this a conflict of interest? The Judge certainly was biased- how is this fair? Is there anything I can do in regards to filing a complaint, etc?
