==Tyrone Johnson case==
In 2005, Judge Rios' conduct in the second murder trial of Tyrone Johnson came under scrutiny. Johnson's first conviction for the murder of nightclub owner Leroy Vann was overturned by Judge Rios when it was revealed that a prosecutor lied about the whereabouts of a defense witness.〔(Did Judge Tip Scales in Murder Case? ), WABC-TV Eyewitness News.〕 Judith Memblatt, the judge's former law clerk, accused him of improperly coaching the prosecutor in the second trial, Eugene Riebstein.〔(7online.com: Did Judge Tip Scales in Murder Case? 11/15/05 )〕 Based on Memblatt's allegations, Johnson's defense attorney Ron Kuby sought to overturn this second conviction.〔 In support of the motion to vacate the conviction, Kuby took the unorthodox step of calling Judge Rios as a witness to address the allegation,〔( BENCH PRESS: '03 SLAY TRIAL JUDGE MUST TESTIFY ), ''New York Daily News'' 〕 but Rios denied any misconduct. A side issue in the case is Memblatt's further allegation of a sexual affair between former prosecutor Meryl Lutsky and the married Rios which, in Memblatt's words, made him "unfit" to be a judge.〔(New York Post Online Edition: News )〕 The affair, and Memblatt's subsequent firing, prompted the tabloid ''New York Post'' to call Rios the "Love Judge."〔 Memblatt has gone on to become a blogger highly critical of the New York state judiciary as a whole.〔("It Takes A Blogger" ) 〕 In October 2006, Judge Matthew D'Emic denied Johnson's motion to overturn the conviction, finding no misconduct on Rios' part.〔(''People v. Johnson'' ) Decision & Order.〕
