The three-judge panel agreed axing Willis was necessary to remove the 'odor of mendacity' from trial, highlighting the need for integrity in legal proceedings.
Ex-loverboy Wade billed taxpayers $250 per hour, earning a cool $700,000 in total, while the couple took lavish trips together during the case.
Wade was forced to quit the case in March after the affair came to light, raising serious concerns about the handling of the investigation.
The appellate court declined to end the indictment, but removing it from Willis' hands is significant, as no DA wants a compromised case.
