The context of the bribe as being serious enough that such a statement should be backed by some form of evidence occurs in the first reply post.

Has anyone actually suggested that she is bribed?
The answer to that question is depending on how you interpret the very first post.
AKA Judge angers world taking bribes from Apple!1
I've simply pointed out that:
    A: From the perspective of the parties involved in the case, neither bias nor bribery is good - this seems to agree with your position so there seems to be no disagreement on this point! Unless I've misunderstood what your position is - but I'll need you to clarify if I have misunderstood.
    B: From the perspective of the Judge - Bribery is a very serious charge because it can result in a prison sentence, Bias is a less serious charge because it only results in removal from the case in particular.
I don't know if you're issue with what I've stated lies in B or not. I really don't know - you haven't clarified what it is I wrote that you take issue with.

Perhaps you could clarify which of the specific points I've made that seperates the severity of Bias from Bribery that you take issue with. Perhaps your thoughts are focusing on the impact to the parties involved in the case without consideration of the impact to the Judge?

Here's an interesting question for you to consider though:

    In your Country, can a Judge be criminally charged for Bribery? Can s/he be criminally charged for Bias?

1: The comment could very well have been made in nothing more then pure Jest. However, that's neither here nor there with the context of discussion surrounding the serious effects of the impacts of a claim of bias vs bribery. A serious discussion which began with the first reply.
