Chris,
But I think this foolish motion may have caused the Judge to have lost respect for O’Mara too!

I wrote a successful motion for recusal based on a court’s personal antipathy towards the partner, but admittedly we were as much lucky that the judge was glad to be rid of the case as we were justified based on legal grounds. However, a court’s antipathy towards a criminal defendant who participates in perjury in order to have a reduced bond – and covers up about the existence of a passport – is completely different. Insulting the Court’s intelligence, and then taking umbrage when called on it – was never going to be successful. Still “A” for effort. GZ probably did not have much to lose, as the Court already has little empathy for him.

majiir,
Me Too! I also think that Judge Lester is being careful to ensure that there is no reversible error, so that in the event the jury convicts that they won’t be able to complain on appeal.

Zimmerman appears to have become accustomed to being treated with kid gloves. He and Shellie lied. This has been proven. George Zimmerman doesn’t like being called a liar. The only thing I can say about this is that if he doesn’t want to be called a liar, he shouldn’t have lied. Judge Lester is probably one of the few people who have had the courage to call the Zimmermans liars. They got caught lying, and they have to live with it. Judge Lester would have had to recuse himself if he had told a lie on the Zimmermans, but he didn’t. He told the truth. The prosecutors had the evidence to prove the Zimmermans misled the court about their financial situation. The more I hear about Judge Lester, the more I like him, feel that he is competent and is the right judge to preside over George Zimmerman’s trial.
