MIAMI (Reuters) - The Florida man charged with second-degree murder in the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin asked for a new judge in his case on Friday, accusing the current judge of bias.
Lawyers for George Zimmerman filed a motion requesting that Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester withdraw from the trial.

No bias here from the turds down at Reuter Rooters. Nope! Judges, jury and executioner all rolled into one two bit, Big government propaganda machine.

I think Zimmerman clearly acted in self-defense, and that he was charged at all is a grotesque miscarriage of justice. I think the charges should be dropped and the case dismissed.
That said, there is no dispute that he is "Trayvon Martin's killer" -- the use of "alleged" here would be silly -- and it is a "murder trial."
So, I guess I don't see the issue with the headline here.

And that surprises you? The Washington Post and the black newspapers have done more to put Mr. Zimmerman in prison than the entire Florida prosecutor's office.

He’s admitted killing Trayvon, so the headline isn’t libelous. Had the headline read “Trayvon’s murderer” you’d have a point. The killing is a point of fact, while the murder is at this point alleged.

George needs a judge who understands that he is Trayvon Martin’s survivor. Trayvon was the unfulfilled killer.

They defused the headline. Started out as "Trayvon Martin's Killer", it changed to "Zimmerman".
Musta had some backlash.

The evidence is starting to look that way, but the trial has not yet even started.
