Baldwin’s motion further alleges that Reeba’s “potential influence on her colleagues in the Legislature could thwart any efforts to legislatively foreclose a prosecution that has been widely criticized as unjust and unprecedented.”

In the motion’s footnote, Baldwin would go on to suggest that Reeb could potentially be pressured into making prosecutorial decisions that benefit her own “legislative interests,” Includes “prosecuting a prominent defendant associated with an opposing faction within the Legislature even in the face of conflicting evidence or law.”
“And even if she does not allow her legislative interests to influence her prosecutorial choices, the perception of bias could diminish public confidence in the fairness of the criminal process,” The argument has come to an end. “The legal question is not a close one. She must be disqualified.”
