Will the judge who decides this be the same one who revoked Zimmerman’s bond in order to placate Crump, or will there be a judge who hasn’t already tipped his hand?

Generally, it would be the same judge unless MOM files to have him removed from the case, which would probably be a risky thing to do in case the judge refuses, or if the new judge is worse. The first judge on the case seemed to me to be too inexperienced for a case like this.
At least Judge Lester seems to have a generally good working relationship with O’Mara even though I think he really, really blew it with revoking GZ’s bond, especially considering that the motion by the prosecution deceptively edited Shellie Zimmerman’s testimony as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpzBX9Q56Ws
