Bid To Have Judge Removed From Manson Assault Case Fails

The Oakland Press reports Rochester District Judge Julie Nicholson refused prosecutors requests to have Judge Gerald McNally removed from the assault case involving Marilyn Manson, which has cleared the way for a likely resolution of the case. “It’s the correct ruling,” Manson’s lawyer Walter Piszczatowski said Monday. “We’re happy to be back in front of Judge McNally in an attempt to resolve this thing one way or another. We’re going to explore the possibility of resolving this by a plea.”
