| 3 | People v. Dobler | green | “while the judge's statements that he would be 'haunted' by his decision to grant probation showed the judge was affected by his prior decision to be lenient with defendant, it is not enough to establish that the judge was unable to sentence defendant fairly.” | 3 |
