Indeed. It’s clear the judge knows this one is lost and the only shot the judge and the prosecution team (and they are a team) have is to get Zimmerman to screw up.
I have NEVER seen a judge so in the tank for one side as this, especially when being watched.
I think she has eyes on higher office and knows that if she is a complete ass, the Democrat higher-ups will appoint her to something.
The only worse one I've seen was the judge in the Newman movie "The Verdict".
True, but maybe you or I watching is not so important. However, Obama is watching and that is where the rewards or punishment originates.
