CNN's Erin Burnett deconstructs JPMorgan's $6 billion loss and stock gain of 6%. Does it add up?
George Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara filed Friday a motion to remove the Florida Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. Earlier in the case, Lester revoked Zimmerman's initial bond for 'misleading' the court over his personal finances and then set a new and substantially higher bond.
"Mr. Zimmerman has a reasonable fear that he cannot get a fair trial or a fair stand your ground hearing by this court," said O'Mara.
O'Mara wrote, "The court makes gratuitous, disparaging remarks about Mr. Zimmerman's character; advocates for Mr. Zimmerman to be prosecuted for additional crimes; offers a personal opinion about the evidence for said prosecution; and continues to hold over Mr. Zimmerman's head the threat of future contempt proceedings."

The motion filed by O'Mara is the second time Zimmerman has asked for a new judge. O'Mara requested first circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler, who was then the first judge assigned to the case to step down. He cited her husband's professional relationship with NeJame, based on his public comments on the case and at the time was being courted by the Zimmerman family for representation.
