Zimmerman Wins Removal of Judge in Murder Trial

HeadlineAug 30, 2012

Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman has won the removal of a second consecutive judge in his case. On Wednesday, a three-judge panel ordered the recusal of Judge Kenneth Lester after Zimmerman’s attorneys alleged he had made disparaging remarks about Zimmerman’s character last month. Lester’s predecessor in the case was also removed after complaints from Zimmerman’s attorneys. Zimmerman remains free on a $1 million bail bond.
