Rochester District Judge
Julie Nicholson, of the 52nd District Court, was asked
to disqualify Clarkston District Judge Gerald McNally.
Prosecutors argued that McNally should be disqualified
because he suggested he would fine Manson $2,000 on
two misdemeanor charges.
Prosecutors said Monday
they likely won't appeal Nicholson's ruling. Defense
attorney Walter Piszczatowski said his client will
likely plead to the misdemeanor and be done with the
case.
"It's the correct ruling,"
Piszczatowski told The Oakland Press in Pontiac for
a Tuesday story.
Manson was arrested
after a July 30 performance at DTE Energy Music Theatre.
Prosecutors allege that he assaulted a security guard
there by rubbing his genitals against the guard's
neck.
In December, the charges
were reduced from fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct
and assault and battery to disorderly conduct Ñ punishable
by up to 90 days in jail.
Manson is expected to
appear in court in Oakland County on June 14.
