Mexican drug cartel leader Oscar Arriola has been sentence to 22 years in prison for his convictions on drug trafficking.

Sanford, Fla. -

Circuit Court Judge Jessica Recksiedler may be forced to recuse herself in the Trial of George Zimmerman due a conflict of interest according to Zimmerman's new attorney Mark O'Mara.

During a short status hearing today at 1:15pm, O'Mara said he was considering filing a motion to have Judge Recksiedler removed. Judge Recksiedler's husband works for the NeJame law firm, the same firm that was contacted by the Zimmerman family for representing George Zimmerman before Mark NeJame eventually recommended Mark O'Mara.
