From the State’s Motion to Recuse Judge Helm from all family violence cases:

Due process requires recusal when “there is a serious risk of actual bias—based on objective and reasonable perceptions.”

and

This bias should not be allowed to interfere with the State’s due process rights in a manner that infects “the integrity of the trial process.”

Problem: The State has no right to due process.

(Prosecutors and other statists go slackjawed and glassyeyed when introduced to that principle, so I offer them a cite: Collier v. Poe, 732 S.W.2d 332, 343-44 (Tex. Crim. App. 1987)).
