California: Judge bars Jewish DA from prosecuting 'death to Israel' vandals
Judge Kelley Paul claimed that DA Jeff Rosen should not have called the occupation of the university president's office and vandalism 'antisemitic' and ordered him off the case.
Évaluation
A California judge has removed a Jewish district attorney from a vandalism case after he labeled the suspects' 'death to Israel' chants as antisemitic. This raises serious questions about judicial overreach and whether prosecutors can be disqualified for naming antisemitic motives. The ruling could chill the prosecution of hate crimes if judges begin policing how district attorneys characterize bias. Watch for an appeal or legislative response.
