If anyone wants to complain about a judge and his handling of a case before him, the proper place for a complaint is with the judicial ethics board.
Any this wasn't just prosecuted by the DA of Lowdes County. The Attorney General's office handles the appeals.
This is proof of something I have said many times, prosecutors very often don't care if someone is guilty, they just want to win. And they will never admit they are wrong after a conviction even when handed proof of innocence or even when someone else has confessed to the crime. They always take the position that the person was guilty or the judge or jury wouldn't have convicted them.
