[longtermmemmory]

the appearance of impropriety is impropriety.

the simple fact is the judge reads the accusation and can just say “nope, i can be fair.” and that ends it.

If granted, EVERY RULING of the judge can be re-examined.

[MileHi]

The motion filed Friday says Zimmerman "has a reasonable fear that he cannot get a fair trial or a fair stand your ground hearing by this court."

This sounds like his attorney intends a vigorous SYG defense. That is encouraging.

Thanks for the info.

[Red Steel]

George Zimmerman's attorneys want to disqualify the judge who is presiding over his second-degree murder trial.

It certainly looks like the presiding "judge" should be kicked off the case.

[varmintman]

Sounds a little bit like reality starting to set in...

[Cyber Liberty]

What do you think, goseminoles? Zimmerman have a fog of a chance with this?

[snarkytart]

About damn time

[chris37]

Not only should this hack judge be kicked off the case, the entire idiot ridden united states of america should be kicked off this case.

Travon, the violent son of Obama, got the justice he so richly deserved when he was killed by his victim that he was trying to murder.

Judge Lester was corruptly biased from the git-go.

He's not only sticking it to Mr. Z in every way possible but he's doing all he can to taint a potential jury pool with his consistent prejudicial diarrhea of the mouth.

George is being Lesterized like the LaCrossies were Nifonged.

GO, Attorney Mark O'Mara !!!

The motion says Lester made disparaging remarks about Zimmerman's character, says he should be "prosecuted for additional crimes," and is holding the threat of future contempt proceedings over Zimmerman's head.

If this can be proven with independent witnesses or court documents, this judge should be removed - not only from this case, but from the bench.

Seminole County has a spotty history of judges who introduce or manufacture their own "evidence" to lock people away. One man is currently on death row based solely on manufactured "evidence" introduced by the judge (I don't know the judge's name).

The discovery documents released to date strongly support Zimmerman's claims about Martin and the FBI report is particularly damning to the prosecution's case. Given these facts, it remains to be seen if Zimmerman can and will get a fair trial.

[mylife]

Lester is obviously a biased POS.

[PhilDragoo]

Judge Hannibal Lestor wants to eat Zimmerman's liver with some fava beans and a good chianti.

[Jaded]

This charade needs to be ended. NOW.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree whole heartedly. The judge is NO GOOD!!!

[House Atreides]

IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!

[Uncle Chip]

That biased 8 page abomination that Lester wrote on July 5th was his resignation letter. Those things are usually 2 pages long and he took 8 pages to excoriate a defendant whose crime was keeping his mouth shut in his courtroom.

That document was a disgrace to the judicial process and the common sense of those who watched the June 29th hearing. One would have to think that his head was in an alternate universe that day to have written such an irrational mindless order. No objective judge should have penned the assinine things he did.

I think he wants off this case and that order was proof of it. He sent a message to the defense and was hoping that O'Mara would get the message and he did.

He should thank Mark O'Mara and West for giving him the opportunity to recuse himself. He should take it and the opportunity to resign from the bench as well for the sake of all of Florida.

[Elle Bee]

we would be no worse off or perhaps even better off if judges were selected for each trial in much the same way as jurors

we’d see a lot more common sense and less egomania and a lot more justice

[Uncle Chip]

The motion also says the court is not weighing any evidence of Zimmerman's innocence in the case when determining bond, other than to say "the only issue is the viability of the defendant's self-defense/Stand Your Ground claim" but they also accuse the judge of not discussing that issue either.

The law requires that the judge weigh the evidence for an acquittal at an SYG hearing in this case in its determination of bond. But this judge mocked the defense's evidence -- mocked it and laughed at it and threw it back at the defense.

He then said that this evidence should have been presented 2 months earlier at the initial bond hearing in April for bond consideration. And yet he knew full well that the prosecution was holding onto all the exculpatory evidence at that time -- all of it -- and only began to release it beginning in May.

Lester is a disgrace to the bench.

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Tulsa,Oklahoma just a few months ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

Mr. Strait died from his injuries last week.

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL OUTRAGE?

Have they caught the rest of the gang of feral blacks who raped, tortured and murdered this elderly woman? Are they even looking? Not a word about it in the media.
