A Florida appeals court has granted George Zimmerman's request for a new judge to oversee his trial for second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting.

A three-judge panel of the 5th District Court of Appeal found that Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. cast doubt on his impartiality when he wrote in his July 5 order setting $1 million bail that Zimmerman showed "blatant disregard for the judicial system" and that he was "manipulating the system for his own benefit."

...

The court directs Lester to disqualify himself and ask the chief circuit judge to appoint a successor.

The grand stand turned out to be not so grand.

Excessive drama all around.

I think it  is pure genius.  He makes a couple of well chosen statements, and he's taken off an ugly  case that is sure to  be nothing  but a series of headaches for whoever presides over it.  Best part is that he did it in a way so that he  is not in trouble at all.  Well played!

Wasn't this something like the third judge that was in line to try this case?

I guess nobody wants this hot potato . . .

My thoughts as well.  Strict bail may be unjust... But not excessively so to have him disbarred or even shunned. I would not want that case. Trouble any way it goes.
