Hearing begins on trial judge in Adamson case dispute
The morning hearing centers on whether Maricopa County Superior Chief Prosecutor William Schafer III misrepresented facts. Judge Frederic Heineman and Arizona Appeals Court Judge Donald Froeb discuss potential bias and whether Heineman knew Adamson, amid allegations tied to a 1973 restaurant meeting. Prosecutors say the defense embellishes, while Schafer asserts facts differ from the defense motion and details remain under investigation.
