““[a] per se rule of disqualification due to the probability of unfairness applies when the trier [of fact] has pecuniary in terests in the outcome, when the trier [of fact] has become personally embroiled in criticism from a party before him, or when he has heard evidence in secret at a prior proceeding, or when he is related to a party.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Martina“Judges are quite able to put aside information gained at the time of a plea and to decide the case solely on the evidence presented at the subsequent hearings. Even judges and jurors who have in fact formed opinions prior to trial are not disqualified if they can set aside their opinions and decide the case on the evidence before them.”
