The judge had better hope nobody on the jury has heard of jury nullification.

Yep. Judges may instruct a jury on how to reach a verdict, but if they instruct them on what the verdict should be, then a well-informed jury should do exactly the opposite.

DING DING We have a winner folks. I’d hang that jury in a hot minute. What the hell does the judge need a jury if he decides guilt or innocence by fiat.

His refusal to recuse himself will lead to a mistrial.

He is likely pretty safe in knowing that the jury is clueless.
The missus was on a jury for a murder trial...probably the first such crime in 25-years in our little community.
After the trial was completed she told me what the judge's instructions to the jury were and I was absolutely amazed at how judges think they have the power to tell juries how to decide a case.
I would have told the jury to disregard the instructions from the judge and decide on the evidence.
