AC42991 - State v. Olivero (“On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) the trial court
incorrectly denied his pretrial motion to dismiss the charges of first degree
burglary and home invasion, (2) the trial court abused its discretion by
denying his requests to present testimony in support of his pretrial motion to
dismiss, (3) the trial judge, White, J., improperly failed, sua sponte, to
disqualify himself from presiding over the defendant’s jury trial because Judge
White previously had denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss and used the term
‘victim’ in various pretrial hearings, (4) the trial court improperly
restricted his ability to cross-examine the victim concerning the content of
certain text messages, and (5) the prosecutor’s use of the term ‘victim’ during
the trial and in closing argument deprived him of his constitutional right to a
fair trial. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
