Judge Jessica Recksiedler, who was assigned to hear the George Zimmerman case, disclosed that her husband works for the law firm of Mark NeJame, who is acting as the CNN analyst on the case. In a short hearing, she told the case’s lawyers of her conflict, which could allow Zimmerman’s attorney to request her removal from the case. ZImmerman’s lawyer says the issue worries him and he is considering asking for another judge next week.
