Zimmerman wasn't intentionally creating conflict of interests. He was right in calling it out. It was the right thing to do and the judge should have mentioned it herself. She most likely did not because it is a high profile case and she would have gotten a lot of attention.
The fact that her husbands worked with someone that had been contacted by Zimmerman's family and turned them down means that her husband very well could have discussed the case with her prior and influenced her personal opinion outside of a courtroom setting. The second judge had a personal and business relationship with Zimmerman's representation so it was necessary for that judge to step down due to conflict of interest. The second judge did what the first judge should have. It is not like Zimmerman did something bad or as you put it had some sort of specialty in creating a conflict of interest. That is retarded. How would they know that they would be turned down by that law firm. If that lawyer had taken the case she would have had to step down because she would have still had a conflict of interest.
I didn't see that the original lawyer "ditched" him, but never took the case. That would have been the first conflict of interest in the entire situation so why would they "ditch" him over conflict of interest? I don't think you know what you are talking about.edit on 19-4-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
The judge in the Trayvon Martin case quit after the attorney for defendant George Zimmerman argued she had a possible conflict of interest that related to her husband.

I read this info for myself. She made the decision after Zimmerman's attorney argued.

I guess you were just hearing Charlie Brown's mom then huh? Or just running with the facts as you make them up. You have done this multiple times in this thread. I don't make things up, I just go with the sources.
latino.foxnews.com...
Judge Jessica J. Recksiedler holds a conference calls with state attorneys and George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, on Friday to disclose a possible conflict of interest.
Cable TV and courtroom ethics collided in the Trayvon Martin case Friday when the judge suddenly announced that she has a conflict of interest that might force her to step down.
Florida Judge Jessica Recksiedler, who was assigned the Trayvon Martin shooting case, revealed a possible conflict of interest tied to her husband, a lawyer who works for a television legal analyst with ties to the defendant.

That was one of the main reasons his lawyers ditched him. Apparently creating conflicts of interest is his specialty. Missing it is yours?

The complete ignorance around here is disgusting.

I want all of you to read those quotes. She revealed this information. Once she revealed it it is no surprise Zimmermans lawyers would argue to have her recused....but to claim this was brought on by Zimmerman's attorney's is misleading at best.

Its a conflict of interest, from her own mouth. Whether the info came up now or down the road when Zimmerman realizes he knows the lawyer that was hired by the media as an analyst.. Im not sure why you are intent on splitting hairs here.

The above is an example of making a claim that is not a fact. Please disclose your source that supports your claim above that Zimmerman did not remove himself from the situation. All of the information / evidence I have seen, from the moment of contact to the moment the police arrived, is up in the air until the trial starts and witnesses are called.
So please, link your source to support your "fact" above. Or is this another one of your "my opinion" after the facts like you have done several times before?

I read somewhere she said - - it would distract from the case by adding more conflict - - so she stepped down of her own accord.
Basically - - it would add more fuel to a fire that is already red hot.
Whether is was actually conflict or not - - didn't make any difference.

You seem to ignore the other side where Martin came back at Zimmerman. Until such time as the info comes out, your claim is speculation and nothing more. As for the 911 tapes it does not describe what occured from the moment of contact between Zimmerman and Martin and the time the police showed up. All we have are various 911 calls and witnesses who are giving information that does not yet seem to favor one side or another. That will change when it goes to court so until then I again ask you to provide your information that allows you to state as a fact Zimmerman forced the confrontation by approaching Martin.
As far as following the conversation save it. Its apparent you did not understand what a conflict of interwst was. I corrected your mistake and provided people with the defintion of a conflict of interest. Zimmerman cannot create a conflict of interest. Whatever he states can come back to be used against him in court, especically if he stated it to media.
Your attempt to deflect your mistake by blaming me or gogo is fail. You did not know what a conlfict of interest was. i corrected you and gave you some examples. Dont blame him because you did not know.
It is irrelevent who brought it up. the fact remains is its a potential conflict of interest. Better to resolve it now than in the middle of the trial. Please reference my response to you about what a conflict of interest is and who is invovled for it to be classified as one. Hint - Zimmerman cannot create a conflict of interest.
As far as keeping up, there is really nothing to keep up with. The bond hearing was today and the prelim hearing is in May. Until then its its rehash the same crap as before.....

An attorney will ask a Florida judge on Friday to allow George Zimmerman to post bond despite ongoing concerns about his safety amid a national uproar over his role in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Really, the bond hearing was already today? Did he get out on bail? I haven't heard? Could you provide a source for that?
Originally posted by pizzanazi75
It is relevant who brought it up when one side is trying to say the former judge didn't disclose this and Zimmermans lawyers had to argue to get her off the case. That is not true. She made this disclosure, fully, herself. That is the Zimmerman side trying to continue to mislead.

Ill be waiting on that source on that bond hearing that happened already.

You just keep proving why any thing you say is irrelevant, misleading, and sometimes all out lies.

Not really and your own new york times article states the same.

Hmmm.. I see you still only see what you wish. The bond hearing was set for today - Friday April 20th 2012. I never said the hearing already occured. Please note the time of my post is 01:32 AM - Today, Friday April 20th 2012.
Once again when you cannot refute the argument you go after something completely obscue in an effort to defelct. You still ahve not provided your support that states Zimmerman confronted Martin. Please provide the source that is conclusive or admit your statement is an opinion and not a fact.

You have implied that he has already had his bond hearing.

Just another example of you not even knowing what you type and then trying to defend it. I know exactly when the bond hearing is, that is why I pointed out to you,

ONCE AGAIN, that you were wrong. Trying to turn it around saying I can't read is really sad on your part. I have quoted what you typed, I know exactly what you said. That is how I knew to correct you on it, again.

He put himself in that position. He created it. Have a listen for yourself...just skip on to 2:22.
Please disclose your source that supports your claim above that Zimmerman did not remove himself from the situation.
