Defense asks for Zimmerman judge to be knocked off case
Miami Herald ^ | 7/13/12 | Frances Robles

Posted on 07/13/2012 2:23:39 PM PDT by Ron C.

George Zimmerman’s defense attorney filed a motion Friday asking that the judge on his case be disqualified.

Claiming the judge has shown bias and made disparaging remarks about Zimmerman, attorney Mark O’Mara said he “no longer has faith” in Seminole County Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester.

O’Mara can’t come right out and call this a political lynching. he has to let it become obvious.

I still will never understand why Mark O'Mara ever requested that Judge Jessica Reckseidler step aside. That made no sense to me.

So she is married to a law partner of Mark Nejame who recommended Mark O'Mara. So what???

And if Mark Mejame was going to be a CNN commenter on this case. So what??? The onus would be on him not on Reckseidler. I think O'Mara did it for Mark Nejame's sake not George's.

If he acts even more biased and political after this, he’ll cause real professional problems for himself and the integrity of the trial. He’s already decided Zimmerman is guilty and has done all he could do to harm Zimmerman’s reputation, so MOM has nothing to lose in exposing his problem to public scrutiny.

He has mugging for the klan with the tan mob in his courtroom and in the media. But he forgets that there are also many others watching who are not impressed with Dem party racist lynch mobs and their media spin. He thinks he’s safe with political and inJustice Department backing, but he is going to see those politicans scramble like cockroaches when this thing is exposed as another Leftist witch hunt as happened at Duke.

How many innocent people has this radical race baiting judge railroaded?

Good move by OMara

Even if he torques the judge...if the judge does not recuse himself...a conviction will be overturned on appeal

Lester’s wife was the prosecutor for Zimmerman’s assault charge against his ex. Lester knew this, and took the case anyway. He took the case knowing full well he had a major conflict of interest

If (and I dearly hope, when) Obama is knocked out of office in 2013, even by the Mittster, a whole lot of this racist hounding of the politicians down there in Sanford will go away. Deprived of the cover, the state will fold, with a private grateful sigh to be rid of the burden.

Good grief - hope this proves to be this judge’s undoing. He should be disbarred, jmho.

“Lester’s wife was the prosecutor for Zimmerman’s assault charge against his ex”

That’s not correct.

There has obviously been a move afoot by the “injustice system” and by the biased “we must take the guns from average American serfs” as has been pushed by the Bloombergs and other NYC elites that own the media as well as our politicians in their pocket to portray Zimmerman as a bogeyman. There has been much propaganda used against this.

What should worry us all is once the elites use their vast wealth to buy off the gun lobbies and their puppets in Congress, there will be nothing stopping them from stripping or reevaluating our 2nd Amendment. Make no mistake that many of the elite do not want millions of Americans owning firearms.

This judge is unfit for office. I cant see the judge surviving this, I just read the very very lengthy damning motion for removal that is posted at http://gzlegalcase.com/

It is down right damning of this judge, I think he is history

You seem to be saying that FL people and institutions are untrustworthy. I think Terri Schiavo would have said the same thing if she could have spoken. I’m afraid though that Americans everywhere, brainwashed as they are, oppose Zimmerman, and he can’t get a fair trial.

Ah, the incompetence of 911 operators must be protected. They will be the future UAV operators and will tell both cops and citizens what to do, to shoot or not shoot, etc... after reporting up to the chain of command, making sure it is not one of OBama’s personal drug cartel operative or son.

beats me. but one thing I can tell ya.. Poor George is not going to get a fair trial ANYWHERE.

Perhaps not. But if I were on his jury there would be no conviction and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

No, not all Americans oppose Zimmerman. Just the liberals and blacks (OK, that’s 99% liberal). There is alot of support for Zim amongst white conservatives.

ONly 20% of the voting public self-identify as liberal. There are only about 12% blacks and most of them are in that 20% liberal.

I am not at all sure that this is a bad venue for Z. It’s a pretty well off, R-leaning county, I do believe.

Any other city would have to bear the costs of security and disruptions. They can bring in a jury from outside if it gets that far, however, since racial discrimination has bee dismissed by the FBI, what they need is just a fair balanced unbiased judge to hear George Zimmerman with an open mind and then dismiss the case at a SYG hearing -- and then it's over.
