Black defendant gets new trial after judge said he ‘looks like a criminal’

In a January 2020 hearing, U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Murphy III said he was “tired” of the case he was presiding over.
It had gone on for nearly two years by then, and the defendant, Leron Liggins, had moved to switch attorneys twice. During the hearing, when Liggins parted with his second attorney, Murphy said he was “tired of getting the runaround.”
“This guy looks like a criminal to me,” Murphy, who is White, said of Liggins, a Black man. “This is what criminals do.”
The fact that he's a nigger is really the only proof you need to know that he's a criminal. ;)
Though Murphy later apologized and said he could preside over Liggins’s trial fairly, an appeals court panel disagreed. In a 3-0 decision, the panel of federal judges ruled that Murphy’s remarks “could be understood to demonstrate clear prejudgment of Liggins’ guilt.” The decision vacated Liggins’s 2021 drug conviction and 10-year prison sentence, and he is set to receive a new trial.

And just what did this nigger do?
Leron Louis Liggins, 28, was arrested by Louisville Metro Police. Liggins is charged with trafficking in a controlled substance in the first degree (at least 4 grams of cocaine) and possession of drug paraphernalia.
LMPD found one kilogram of cocaine wrapped in plastic wrap and towels inside Liggins' bag. They also found a large, unspecified amount of cash and five cell phones in Liggins' carry-on luggage and in his pockets — all of which police noted was indicative of narcotics trafficking.
The arresting officer made a note on the report requesting high bond or no bond, citing Liggins' "violent history."
