Judge in George Zimmerman case offers to recuse herself
By Liz Goodwin | The Lookout – 32 mins ago

A Florida judge Friday offered to recuse herself from the George Zimmerman case in a surprise hearing because of her husband's ties to a CNN legal analyst and commentator.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Judge Jessica Recksiedler disclosed that her husband works for Mark NeJame, a prominent Orlando attorney, in the five-minute hearing Friday afternoon. In addition to working for his law firm, NeJame sounds off on the Zimmerman case for CNN. It's unclear if either attorney will take Recksideler up on her offer and ask her to step aside.

NeJame said on CNN today that Recksideler wants to avoid "the appearance of impropriety" with this disclosure.

Zimmerman has spent two nights in jail on charges of second degree manslaughter, and will ask for bond in a hearing on April 20. He's charged with second degree manslaughter in the February 26 shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman says he shot him in self defense.

Why does this say second degree manslaughter? Charge is second degree murder. Something new?
 
Quote from Max E. Pad:

Remember when the media was telling us Zimmerman was 250 pounds, and he had 100 pounds on Trayvon???

Look at this picture of him in court, the guy cant be more than 175 pounds soaking wet, if he is only 5'8, its mind boggling when you see these photos, just how big of a lie the media was willing to push on this one. Trayvon probably actually outweighed him.....

Funny that you should post this.

"A Sanford police incident report says Trayvon was 6 feet tall and weighed 160 pounds. A spokesman for the family’s lawyers gave a slightly different set of numbers: 6 feet 1 and 150 pounds. Zimmerman is 5 feet 9 inches tall, according to the police report, but it is silent about his weight. A family member says he currently weighs about 190 pounds. Zimmerman used to be far heavier."

The only lie here is that Trayvon was 6 feet and 3 inches.

You can determine from that how clueless the reporting is. People just make up facts as they go along.
 
Not as clueless as you, two inched poker, who "thinks" Zimmerman's guilty until proven innocent and Barney Fife's a threat.

The State finds him guilty. Now the burden is upon his lawyers to show his innocence where the State will contest.
 
I find you guilty of being an imbecile.

The state only charged him and oh BTW, Alan Dershowitz has said the arrest affidavit is "irresponsible and unethical." Anyway, now it's THE STATE'S burden to prove his guilt.

It is plain and simple. No Bond = charges are enough to hold a conviction. Watch for when the bail gets denied next week.

Affidavit's only purpose is to provide probable cause to the judge. Nothing more.

Really? And all this time I thought the amount of bond if any had more to do with perceived flight risk.
