Zimmerman judge: No gag order [View all]

The judge in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder case has issued a written order, saying there's no need for a gag order on defense attorneyMark O'Mara, but the judge also warned that he could impose one if attorneys in the case say or write anything that's prejudicial.

The two-page order was made public Tuesday. It was signed Monday.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. announced at a hearing Friday that there was no need for a gag order. The written order makes official what he said from the bench.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda had asked for one, accusing O'Mara of talking about evidence with a reporter.
