LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — The judge in charge of a legal battle to decide the future of public access to Oswego Lake has been removed from the case, delaying a trial that was previously set to begin this week. The defendants in the lawsuit requested that Clackamas County Circuit Court Judge Ann Lininger be removed from the case and replaced by another judge after they found evidence suggesting that one of the plaintiffs had emailed her about the lawsuit in 2014 and she later met with the plaintiffs to discuss it.
