Recusal was unjustified because the putative contemnor was not a party to the earlier defamation proceedings, the issues in the committal application did not involve re-litigation of the defamation findings, the real danger of bias was not demonstrated under the objective informed-observer standard, and the presiding judge had a duty to hear contempt in the face of the court.
