(34,189 posts)That Zimmerman has lied to the court. I think that Zimmerman's side will have to present more than just a claim that it was self defense and the only thing they really have are Zimmerman's claims. Considering that the Special Prosecutor asserted that his various statements contradicted each other and that the evidence contradicts Zimmerman's statements, Zimmerman's attorneys will have to put up more than just Zimmerman's word.
If Zimmerman goes for SYG immunity it will be under this same judge. Somehow, I think the judge is going to need much more than Zimmerman's word to grant him immunity.
If Zimmerman's defense team tries to change judges, they may run into a problem. One judge already recused herself because her husband works for the attorney who recommended O'Mara to Zimmerman. Another recused himself because of personal ties to O'Mara.
There are only ten circuit judges in Seminole County, so that only leaves seven more to pick from. Considering the small size of the county and how long O'Mara has lived and practiced, there could be more judges that would have to recuse themselves from the case.
