Zimmerman Wins Removal of Judge in Murder Trial 
------------------------------------------------


 
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.
