Fourth DCA Certifies Question of Whether Judge can be Facebook friend with Prosecutor

The Fourth District Court of Appeal has certified the following to be a question of great public
importance:

Where the presiding judge in a criminal case has accepted
the prosecutor assigned to the case as a Facebook “friend,”
would a reasonably prudent person fear that he could not
get a fair and impartial trial, so that the defendant’s motion
for disqualification should be granted?
