A North Carolina judge who released three demonstrators accused of topping a Confederate statue last summer has come under fire after he referred to the African-American prosecutor in the case as “third string” in a meeting with local Republicans this past Friday.

According to The Herald-Sun newspaper, Durham County District Judge Fred Battaglia framed his comments about the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Ameshia Cooper, around a metaphor to that night’s ACC Tournament basketball game between Duke and North Carolina.

“If the third string goes in tonight at 9 p.m., what do you think is going to happen?” asked Battaglia, who later added, “I was raised old school. If you try a case, you try it hard. But if you run your third string, you know what is going to happen.”
