1988(See People v. Lewerenz (1962), 24 Ill. 2d 295 .) A hostile attitude toward defense counsel, an inference that defense counsel’s presentation is unimportant, or a suggestion that defense counsel is attempting to present a case in an improper manner may be prejudicial and erroneous.

1991In addition, a hostile attitude toward defense counsel or remarks that defense counsel has presented his case in an improper manner may also be prejudicial and erroneous. ( Heidorn, 114 Ill.App.3d at 937 , 70 Ill.Dec. 439 , 449 N.E.2d 568 .) However, for comments by the trial judge to constitute reversible error the defendant must show that the remarks were prejudicial, and that he or she was harmed by them.

Similarly, a hostile attitude toward defense counsel, an implication that defense counsel’s presentation is unimportant, or a suggestion that defense counsel is attempting to present a case in an improper manner may be prejudicial and erroneous. 414 Ill. 445, 451 ; People v.

1991It does not appear that the court's treatment of defense counsel was justified, and its continuation throughout the trial must have conveyed to the jury a hostile attitude toward the defense. ( Santucci, 24 Ill.2d 93 , 180 N.E.2d 491 .) The trial court's behavior would almost inevitably have prejudiced the defendant in the eyes of the jury.
