Seminole County Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler said Tuesday that she will issue a written order “no later than Friday” on George Zimmerman’s request that she step down from the case because of a potential conflict of interest.
Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, made the request Monday after Recksiedler said in court last week that her husband works with Orlando attorney Mark NeJame. Zimmerman’s family approached NeJame about representing Zimmerman, 28, who is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin in Sanford, but NeJame declined and referred them to O’Mara, who came on board last week.
In addition, NeJame has been hired as a CNN legal analyst for the case.
O’Mara said Monday that he wants the issue to be addressed now rather than later in case there is a conflict.
The Eighteenth Judicial Circuit said in a statement Tuesday that Recksiedler “is on temporary assignment from the Florida Supreme Court, hearing oral arguments at the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach.”
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, saying he shot Martin, 17, in self-defense.

Thanks, here in CA we have appointed and elected judges.
All must stand for reconfirmation election regularly (yes or no). Also, most don't state party. In California, most county and local politicians pretend they are non partisan...
Of course she will not. If she would have she would have done so at that point as she would have already have thought about this.
There is no way she steps down.
Sorry!
Why would anyone want a case like this?
