JUDGES IN WILDERS SHOW TRIAL REMOVED FROM CASE

Some more good news in the case of Geert Wilders (via Jihad Watch):
Judges in the hate speech trial of Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders have been ordered to step down by an independent appeals panel.

The move follows a request by Mr Wilders' lawyers who said they feared the judges were biased against him.

The legal process that began in January must now begin again with new judges. The trial itself started in October.
Here's more from Klein Verzet about how the judge, Tom Schalken, tried to do this. I don't suppose they might consider canceling the trial altogether and saving tons of money for better purposes?

CORRECTION:

GEERT WILDERS IS NOT ON TRIAL.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND MULTI-CULTURALISM ARE!

Heh.

@Reliapundit: political correctness and multi-culti are the court, mr Wilders the defendant...

Will have to see how the criminal charges against the corrupt judge turn out, could be interesting (but will probably be brushed under the prayer rug of course, thrown out on a technicallity as is the standard here with cases that could prove annoying for the system).
