The Florida judge assigned to the murder case stemming from the shooting of Trayvon Martin disqualified herself at the request of George Zimmerman, the defendant.

Florida Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler, of the 18th Judicial Circuit in Seminole County, issued the disqualification order today, according to an e-mailed statement from the court. Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr. will handle the Zimmerman case, according to the statement.

Recksiedler last week said she had a potential conflict of interest because her attorney-husband works with a TV legal analyst whom Zimmerman had sought out for legal representation in the case.
