2008Under the first part, a court must determine whether a conflict exists, that is, whether “the circumstances of a case evidence a reasonable possibility that the DA’s office may not exercise its discretionary function in an evenhanded manner.” (People v. Conner, supra, 34 Cal.3d at p. 148; accord, People v. Eubanks, supra, 14 Cal.4th at p. 594.) If such a conflict exists, the court must further determine whether the conflict is “ ‘ “so grave as to render it unlikely that defendant will receive fair treatment during all portions of the criminal proceedings.” ’ ” (People v. Vasquez, supra, 39 Cal
