Heading: Superior Court Bias

Text: The Williamses' case was initially assigned to Superior Court Judge John Reese, on October 12, 2000. Judge Reese retired in 2004. In May 2006, the case was ultimately reassigned to Superior Court Judge William F. Morse. Audio recordings of the hearings in this case suggest that Phyllis's exchanges with Judge Morse may have been tense. In her July 13, 2008 motion to change child support, she requested that there be no hearing and attached an explanatory letter that said, in part, I'm scare[d] of you judge, [s]orry! Her brief seems to accuse Judge Morse of bias in favor of DeJeaux rather than looking out for Camerin's best interests, of ignoring or overlooking crucial information that would have led to a different outcome, and of not following through on statements that he made during hearings.
