Fox Legal Analyst: Judge Yelling At Zimmerman's Lawyers ...

Fox News Channel legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. scolded the judge presiding in the case against George Zimmerman for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin. He said that the judge was ?inappropriate? when she raised her voice at Zimmerman?s lawyers and prodded the defendant repeatedly over his choice not to testify in the case against him.

Doocy said that, given the evidence presented so far, some are asking why Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder in the first place. He also wondered if Zimmerman had received a ?fair trial.?

After playing a clip of Judge Debra Nelson speaking curtly to Zimmerman?s attorneys, Doocy turned to Johnson for his reaction to what he characterized as ?badgering.?

?Incredible,? Johnson replied. ?Yes, badgering. Inappropriate and emblematic of what some people think has been an unfair case from the beginning.?

?If you want proof positive about a process that?s gone haywire a little bit, the attitude of the judge in pushing Mr. Zimmerman,? he added. ?It was really out of control and inappropriate.?
