C.M.C.R. 225
Disability of Judge
If by reason of absence, death, sickness, or other disability, the judge before whom the
defendant was tried is unable to perform the duties to be performed by the court after a
verdict or finding, any other judge regularly sitting in or assigned to the court may perform
those duties. But if the substitute judge is satisfied that those duties cannot be performed
because the judge did not preside at the trial, or for any other reason, a new trial may be
granted.
