Judge Dutchcot should recuse herself from Jerry Sandusky's court case.

The Issue

When Jerry Sandusky was initially arraigned, as previously reported by Sara Ganim, prosecutors requested $500,000.00 bail and that Sandusky be required to wear a leg monitor. District Judge Leslie Dutchcot, however, ordered that Sandusky be freed on $100,000.00 unsecured bail. She ordered that Sandusky be freed and pay nothing unless he failed to show up for a court hearing. According to her profile, Judge Dutchcot is a volunteer for Sandusky's group, The Second Mile.
