Judge refuses to recuse herself from New Orleans clergy abuse case: Judge had been asked to recuse herself over donations she made to church run by archdiocese that employed admitted child abuser

"Attorneys for the archdiocese asked Milazzo to remain on the case, arguing in part that mere donations to an entity 'is not the type of financial interest that mandates disqualification'.

Milazzo issued a minute entry on Wednesday in which she indicated she would not take herself off the case. She has not ruled on whether the church’s secret files on how it managed Hecker’s career should be publicly disseminated."
