The judge pointed out he already made a decision in April to allow the resentencing hearing -- and he said Friday he saw nothing new presented that would change his decision.

00:00We're very grateful to Judge Jessick for
00:04seeing through what this was, yet another Hail Mary.
00:09As we indicated going into this this morning,
00:13I had filed a recusal motion based on the information I got.
00:18It finally has crystallized as to why and what the motivations are on Mr. Hockman.
00:24For those of you who have been around the criminal justice system for
00:29more than five minutes,
00:30you'll realize that for the DA himself to come in here and
00:35argue in court is not only demeaning to his deputies who are very talented,
00:41but it shows the degree of involvement and how personal it is.
00:46It was revelatory to me that his dad and he and
00:51their law firm represented the Jose Menendez's erstwhile business partner in
00:58a tax dispute, but it basically tells you exactly why he's gone to these lengths.
01:06Something else was brought up about, I believe it was Lyle saying that there was some potential
01:11narcissistic tendencies or minimalizations still exist.
01:14Is that what you believe is happening?
01:17I actually, when he brought that up, I was going to say, Mr. Hockman,
01:20are they talking about you and the potential narcissistic tendencies?
01:24That was my immediate reaction.
01:25Can you imagine if we did a psychological assessment of Mr. Hockman in this case?
01:29It would be wild to get the conclusion.
01:31With that, I'll leave you with Mr. Friedman.
01:34Thank you, Mr. Friedman.
