Attorney requests different judge for trial

Attorney Mark Christoff on Friday filed a motion for a substitution of judge, citing misconduct by special Prosecutor Michael Vujovich of the Illinois Appellate Prosecutor's Office. Vujovich's office was assigned to the case after a judge ruled that the Vermilion County state's attorney's office had a conflict of interest.
"He tried to proffer evidence in the back room during an informal pretrial" conference, Christoff said after Friday's proceedings. "It's improper to put evidence before the trier of fact when we're not in court."
