It's not her husband. It's another guy in the same firm as her husband who plans on speaking regularly about the case on CNN.

The more appropriate way to avoid an appearance of impropriety is for the husband's colleague to refrain from speaking about the case on CNN. The judge after all was elected to her position and should be expected to fulfull her responsibilities.

The fact that the more appropriate solution of Nejame not going on CNN to bloviate about the case has not been raised makes it clear she just wanted to get away from this pile of crap.

It's clear she wanted to get off.

If her husband isn't willing, I doubt she would lack for volunteers to help her with that.
