1. “In reviewing a claim of judicial bias, this court employs a plain error standard of review .... The standard to be employed is an objective one, not the judge's subjective view as to whether he or she can be fair and impartial in hearing the case .... Any conduct that would lead a reasonable [person] knowing all the circumstances to the conclusion that the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned is a basis for the judge's disqualification.”

2. “[O]ur Supreme Court has recognized that a claim of judicial bias strikes at the very core of judicial integrity and tends to undermine public confidence in the established judiciary .... No more elementary statement concerning the judiciary can be made than that the conduct of the trial judge must be characterized by the highest degree of impartiality. If [the judge] departs from the standard, he [or she] casts serious reflection upon the system of which [the judge] is a part .... We review this [unpreserved] claim [of partiality] therefore ... under a plain error standard of review.”
