Florida Judge Jessica Recksiedler, who was assigned the Trayvon Martin shooting case, revealed a possible conflict of interest tied to her husband, a lawyer who works for a television legal analyst with ties to the defendant.

The judge asked defense lawyer Mark O'Mara to file any request that she step aside by next week so she can rule before an April 20 bond hearing.

At that proceeding, O'Mara is set to ask that his client, George Zimmerman, be released on his own recognizance while he awaits trial on a murder charge.

Recksiedler's husband works with Mark NeJame, a television analyst for CNN initially contacted by Zimmerman's family in their search for a defense lawyer, the judge disclosed at the hearing in Sanford today. NeJame referred Zimmerman to O'Mara.
