Two judges have recused themselves back-to-back in the high-profile death of Allison Feldman.

A battle over DNA evidence previously stalled the case against defendant Ian Mitcham. Currently, a trial date is set for October, but the DNA battle still isn't over.

Two judges recuse themselves in high-profile murder case

In 2015, people in the Scottsdale community were left scared after Allison was found murdered in her Scottsdale home near Loop 101 and Pima Road.
