#aaronspencer #defensediaries #criminaldefense The Aaron Spencer case just went nuclear. Ten days before trial, the defense has filed a motion demanding Judge Barbara Elmore recuse herself AND a second emergency petition to the Arkansas Supreme Court. This is the same court that already smacked down Judge Elmore's unconstitutional gag order in May 2025 — with three justices explicitly calling for reassignment. The defense argues she didn't learn her lesson. Today on Defense Diaries, criminal defense attorney Bob and Ali break down: • The January 13 "security order" that effectively closes the courtroom to the public • The defense attorney who was EJECTED mid-hearing for using her phone • Missing bond records and documents that suddenly appeared after Supreme Court scrutiny • Why Spencer's political candidacy creates new conflicts • The extraordinary security presence — drones, multiple agencies, perimeter checkpoints — for a non-custodial defendant • What happens if the Supreme Court intervenes AGAIN The trial is set for January 26, 2026. The clock is ticking. #arkansaslaw #JudicialRecusal #PublicTrial #SixthAmendment
