The State did poorly today, especially in the summation, but the judge was clearly sympathic to the state and somewhat hostile to Zimmerman.
The judge falsely claimed in his last bail decision that the state had a lot of evidence against Zimmerman when he has not even heard all the evidence yet. He has made up his mind about this case. Hopefully, a jury will be open to the evidence. The judge has decided based on what Cory tells him, without the evidence.
He’s not going to give George bail. He hates him.

Ohhh — I’m sure he will because otherwise MoM will go over his head and appeal his decision. And if Lester was paying attention at all today, then he has to realize that MoM laid the groundwork for exactly that — an appeal, and judges hate being overturned on appeal. This might help explain the judge’s quandary:

The judge has some history of bias. I agree Zimmerman and his attorney, O’mara have an uphill battle on their hands. I think O’mara knows they drew a bad judge. Whoever is manipulating things with the state is trying to stack the deck against Zimmerman.
I call the judge mo-lester short for moron lester. Like the usage of trayvon /trayvoned which is being used as a noun/ verb to indicate the killing of a thug, the word lester as a verb should be used to indicate the acts of a biased judge. As an example, the judge lestered the defendant.
