Outrage has erupted following a New Orleans judge's decision to further postpone the trial of a retired priest accused of child rape. Calls for accountability are mounting against Judge Benedict Willard after he recused himself from the case of Lawrence Hecker on the very morning jury selection was set to begin. Advocates for victims of sexual abuse and court watchdogs are demanding that Judge Willard face consequences for his actions, which they argue reflect a troubling pattern of behavior over his more than two decades on the bench. Concerns have intensified following Willard's controversial decision to remove members of the local district attorney's office during a previous rape trial in August, which has now impacted the highly anticipated trial of the 93-year-old Hecker. Critics are urging for Willard to be punished and even voted out of office, citing his history of angry outbursts and questionable judicial conduct. The delay in Hecker's trial has only added to the frustration and disappointment felt by those seeking justice for victims of sexual abuse.
