Prosecutors seek recusal of Caddo judge, alleging bias in favor of police.
SHREVEPORT, La. -- Caddo Parish prosecutors have taken the unusual step of seeking the recusal of a District Court judge from the criminal case against a sheriff’s deputy, saying he is biased in favor of law officers, as evidenced by his recent acquittal of four police officers during a bench trial and his membership in a fraternal police organization.

Caddo District Judge Chris Victory has denied favoritism toward law enforcement and refused to recuse himself, although he has now dropped his affiliation with the police organization and has asked another judge to hold a hearing on whether he should be taken off the case.

Thirteen police officers facing criminal charges in Victory’s section of Caddo District Court have opted for a bench trial before him rather than a jury trial.

Caddo Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Chapman is accused of misconduct in the way he treated a 68-year-old who died while in custody. Chapman has pleaded not guilty to malfeasance and opted for a bench trial.

Eight Shreveport police officers facing charges of using excessive against two suspects have also opted for a bench trial before Victory. Four city police officers charged with malfeasance in the death of a suspect were acquitted two months ago in a bench trial before Victory.

The type of recusal motion filed by prosecutors against a judge is highly unusual in Caddo Parish. District Attorney James Stewart said it was not in retaliation for the judge’s acquittal of the four officers.

In the motion seeking to recuse Victory from presiding over the deputy’s case, Caddo prosecutors said Victory has violated the judicial canons of impartiality.

Victory “is biased, prejudiced and/or personally interested in favor of law enforcement to such an extent that he would be unable to conduct a fair and impartial trial,” prosecutors said.
