3 Zimmerman/Martin related headlines today. WTF mods? Are you that obsessed with greenlighting this shiat?

From April:

The judge in the George Zimmerman case recused herself on Wednesday after the defense sought to have her disqualified because her husband worked with a CNN legal affairs analyst who was approached by the defendant to represent him.

I wonder how this will play out.

More interested in Sandusky's adopted son coming out as also being a victim of his molestation.

The wife of George Zimmerman went to middle school with the son of the judge in her husband's trial

So farking what?

This proves that Trent Williams was innocent and should not have been murdered by Zimmerman

It's a city of 15k. It has 2 farking middle schools. The odds of any two people who grew up there, and have an age gap of 3 years or less, going to the same middle school is 50%.

It's exactly as newsworthy as "Son of judge in Trayvon's shooting did NOT go to school with Zimmerman's wife"

/They seem to have only 1 high school

jaylectricity: Is your life really that sad? Getting the Boobies in a thread is ridiculously easy on Fark.

Well, let's be clear. It's not easy if you're a liter, since it's very seldom that a thread gets greenlit with zero comments. Now, as a TotalFarker, getting Boobies is nothing to be proud of, given that at any moment there are a hundred empty threads submitted that don't get any attention.

Also, Judge Zimmerman's kid's chicks are hot.

FTFA - Another classmate, RaShay Henderson, remembered Shellie Dean from science class and recognized her from news photos as Zimmerman's wife.

"If you weren't in her circle, she really didn't give a damn about you," Henderson said. "She really looked down on other people."

I beleive that RaShay may have misinterpreted Shellie. She was clearly looking to see if you had any snacks to share.

You know, I truly believe that Zimmerman was an asshole, guilty as charged, and everything....

But how does this relate to anything? So he went to the same middle school. Big deal. Show me something where the judge has a record of showing favouritism and I'll care.

I think that this: "Criticizing the couple for misrepresenting their finances, Lester revoked George Zimmerman's bail." influenced the judge's opinion of both the Zimmermans more than anything. "You made me look like an idiot. I won't let you do that again."

But then again, this might be the perfect excuse for Judge Lester to recuse from a case that isn't going to make anyone happy with the results and pass the buck to the next sucker.

penetrating_virga: Um so? Is this the start of a smear campaign on the judge?

We were denied a hot female judge just because her husband worked with a guy who Zimmerman approached about representation.

I DEMAND FULL VETTING OF THE REPLACEMENT JUDGE.

If you have *any* connections to a person in a case in which you're presiding over, the correct legal step for a judge is to recuse yourself from said case, if my GED in law serves me correctly.

/I could be wrong

Look, if you're gonna play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon to get rid of a judge you don't like, sooner or later you'll be able to get an incriminating connection for anyone.

This seems like a rather insignificant connection.

I don't know how that could be true. There has to be a reasonableness about it I would think. Otherwise, the previous judge that stepped down would not be able to preside over just about any case because he knows somebody at CNN. The story shows up on CNN, blammo. GTFO? Doesn't seem correct.

Given that it's the legal system, define "connection". Are we talking "six degrees" here? How many links need to be in the chain for you to be considered "disconnected"?

From what I gather from the article, the guy's son attended the same middle school at the same as she did 12 years ago. That's a pretty farking tenuous "connection".

All I am saying is that, for now, who the fark cares? Other than legal beagles, anyway. Kind of a non-story unless investigation turns up that it is more than just the above.

You are: http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/professional _responsibility/2011_mcjc_rule2_11.authcheckdam.pdf

I don't see where it says that a judge should recuse themselves because they wife knew one of the parties over 15 years ago and doesn't keep in contact with them.

This seems like a rather insignificant connection.

You're right, it is. But the concern of the judiciary is the appearance of impropriety, rather than impropriety. Favoritism is a difficult to establish crime and one that gnaws on the public's perception of the judiciary. The best solution to this is to recuse on any connection, not because there is a connection, but to protect any verdict found from being undermined by the accusation.

Should the judge recuse himself, it is not a reflection on him, an admission of collusion or even an indication of the strength of the case against Zimmerman in any way. Quite the opposite. It is a step to ensure that we as a society can trust the judiciary to act as an impartial observer since the judiciary is accommodating enough to recuse at even this level of absurd connection.

Came here to bring home the Bacon reference, glad to see it's been covered. I'm friends with a dry cleaner, who used to clean Zimmerman's former teacher's clothes.... obviously I wouldn't be able to discern the difference between right and wrong, and would side with a weirdo vigilante without considering any evidence.

That would essentially make it impossible for judges or attorneys in small towns to do anything. "You can't preside over Ol' Zeke's trial! Ol' Zeke sold you a malt in 1964 when you was ridin' yer pappy's shoulders"

That's probably the intent, since it seems that a lot of people are really emotionally invested in turning this into some sort of race issue and there hasn't actually been any legitimate reason to do so yet.

However, I don't see it working particularly well, since my first reaction was:



"Before you die, there is something you should know about us. I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."

"What does that make us?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOTHING."

Hobodeluxe: Did Zimmerman ever call the cops on any white kids walking round the neighborhood?

Given that the dude had like 100 damned incident reports filed over the course of a few years in neighborhood watch, I'm going to go with "yeah, probably". Dude's problem isn't racism, it's that he's pretty far down the intelligence scale and has a really bad case of "get off my lawn".

I'm not going to try to find his entire log of suspicious person reports and go through it, that would be a huge waste of time. You're welcome to do so if you can find 'em, but until then I'm going to take the sheer number of cop calls to indicate that he was just bloody territorial in general.

Seriously? This is news? Sighs. I'm so sick of hearing of this i could puke coathangers. This trial is gonna come down to "he said she said" because nobody really saw what happened, and everyone involved is going to lie. Just put him away or let him go and lets move on.

Homeroom bias? I assumed Zimmerman's lawyer would request a different judge as soon as his bail was revoked. The 2nd passport was waived away, so, I can't see any bias against his wife. She did hide the passport in the box, per the transcripts of their conversation on the jail phone. No code was needed to figure that conversation out.

I wonder about all these people gleefully predicting widespread rioting if Zimmerman gets off. I don't know whether they seriously think that's going to happen, or it's what the want to happen - or a little bit of both.
Seems kind of sick to wish for something like that - it's as if they want their worst suspicions of people validated, whatever the cost.
Sad souls - twisted by hate and fear.
