State AG Puts Subject of Recusal Back in County Court Judge’s Hands

Arguments for the recusement of Mendocino County District Attorney David Eyster could begin as soon as Tuesday when Chemise Cubbison and her co-defendant are expected to enter pleas to a felony misappropriation of funds charge.  MendoFever reports State Attorney General Rob Bonta in a 12-page filing, has put the responsibility back on Judge Keith Faulder to decide as to whether there is a conflict of interest with Eyster since his and Cubbison’s relationship has been so contentious in the past.  Cubbision’s attorney says he will be ready to argue for recusal.
