Hill v. Iris Elizabeth Hill & Ponte Vedra Animal Hosp., Inc.
Opinion of the Court
Darryl Hill petitions this court for a writ of prohibition, challenging the denial of his timely motion to disqualify the trial judge presiding over the below proceedings. After a review of the record, including the transcript from the hearing described in Hill's motion to disqualify, we conclude that comments made by the judge at that hearing "were sufficient to put a reasonably prudent person in well-founded fear of not receiving a fair or impartial hearing or trial." State v. Gresham ,
PETITION GRANTED.
COHEN, C.J., and LAMBERT, J., concur.
TORPY, J., dissents without opinion.
