“The practice of requiring a judge to testify regarding matters arising in a trial over which the judge previously presided should be ‘sparingly used and only when the proponent of the evidence shows that the judge’s testimony is not only relevant but also necessary to prove a material element of the case,'” Justice Richard L. Gabriel wrote for the seven-judge panel.
