judge in Zimmerman trial out of order?

Is the judge in the Zimmerman trial mentally unfit for the adjudication of this case?

Will Zimmerman be convicted because of the actions of this judge?

Is that fair, should a judge be behaving in this way at all?

There are some seri­ous ques­tions about the men­tal health of this judge.

The hos­tile exchange began when Judge Debra Nel­son asked Zim­mer­man if he planned to tes­ti­fy.

Essen­tial­ly, Judge Nel­son told Zim­mer­man he had the “absolute right to remain silent” but then pro­ceed­ed to demand he answer her ques­tions inter­ro­ga­tion-style while silenc­ing his lawyers.

Defense attor­ney Don West twice object­ed to Nelson’s inter­ro­ga­tion, prompt­ing the judge to raised her voice and exclaim, “Your objec­tion is over­ruled!” in a man­ner more befit­ting of an angry par­ent lec­tur­ing a child than a legal pro­fes­sion­al.

Both of Zimmerman’s lawyers appeared shocked as attor­ney Mark O’Mara asked under his breath, “what is going on?”
