Now I have to know why this was done, specifically:
"In preparation for the court process to begin, documents were filed to preassign a judge to the case. Superior Court Judge Jeanette Dalton was assigned initially, but prosecutors filed a motion, called an affidavit of prejudice, to have Dalton removed because prosecutors believe they "will not receive a fair and impartial trial," according to documents. Superior Court Judge Jennifer Forbes was the next judge in the rotation and was assigned the case. Hauge said the affidavit was filed at his direction, and he said he believes prosecutors "would not get a fair trial in this case from this judge," but he declined to comment further, citing Washington State Bar Association guidelines about making public comments on judges. Prosecutors and the defense each can use the affidavits of prejudice once per case and only before a judge makes a ruling. Hauge said the decision to remove Dalton was specific to the Gaeta case."

Is she related to the Gaeta family? Close friends? A history of sympathizing with perverts?
