Oh man, I remember the first story. Them meeting in court a 2nd time sounds like a sad story.
Same judge prosecuting a student facing up to 15 years for making a joke about terrorism source.
This guy (probably) gets a leaner sentence because “omg my classmate” then comes some student who said “Netenyahu drop some bonbons on my uni” and she’s facing 15.
I know I’m exaggerating but I still think the situation is absurd.
Judges don’t prosecute people. Prosecutors do. She literally has nothing to do with the charges being brought against defendants in her court. It’s up to the prosecutors to file charges and persue cases like this.

destroyedrestoreddestroyedIsn’t this a huge conflict of interest?
She recused herself from the second case, due to the conflict of interest from getting closer to the accused after the first case.
What her interest here?
If the judge has a history with, even hugging, the accused; I’d be concerned that they might be more lenient with their sentencing than they would a stranger. Especially if they’re back for the third time
Yes but I don’t see her gaining anything from being lenient. I don’t think being vaguely familiar with someone and wishing them well is enough to establish a conflict of interest.
That’s a neat thought, but the connection between them is probably trivial enough to not be objectionable.
