Prosecutor Misconduct And Recusal

Summary

If a prosecutor in your case was reprimanded and fined, it could be grounds for them to recuse themselves from the case. Discuss this with your attorney, who can file a motion for recusal based on the conflict of interest or prior misconduct. Additionally, if the prosecutor committed errors in your trial, it may affect the outcome. Document any misconduct and consult with your attorney to address these issues. There is no specific limit to mistrials in Tennessee, and the decision is at the judges discretion. If misconduct reversed your first trial, consider filing a complaint with the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility.
