Palin appointed judge in Levi Johnston/Bristol Palin custody case has been recused.

Judge Eric Smith, the gentleman sitting in the middle.

According to Court View the judge appointed to this case, Kari Kristiansen, has now been replaced by Judge Eric Smith, a Tony Knowles appointee.

Does this help Levi?

Well it certainly can't hurt to have a judge that does not owe their position to the mother of the defendant.

By the way, as of this post, Bristol has still refused to return to the state with Tripp, despite there being a motion of contempt filed for her refusal to do so.
