Zimmerman's lawyer asks to have judge removed from case

George Zimmerman's defense team formally requested Monday that the Florida judge assigned to their client's case be removed after she revealed her husband works with a CNN legal analyst.

Mark O'Mara's office filed paperwork Monday asking that Seminole Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler not preside over second-degree murder proceedings involving Zimmerman, according to Seminole County Court spokeswoman Michelle Kennedy.

The motion to "disqualify" the trial judge "will be ruled on in the appropriate manner," Kennedy said Monday.

Hell yes, I'd demand a new judge.  Damn media vultures.

****in right. I would do the same thing. The media already tried and convicted him, they are just waiting for the sentence to come down now.

The way our legal system is set up, virtually all motions of this type should be approved. If they aren't, it's just another reason for an appeal, especially if the judge is "tainted". The fact she hasn't recused sheds some light on her beliefs, plus the possibility of media tampering in the case is huge.

If the judge isn't disqualified, I wonder if the motion will make her hostile toward the defense?
