State v. Richardson

Summary

The court concluded in the visible portion of the opinion that defendant failed to establish grounds for disqualifying the trial judge and that the admission and presentation of eighty-eight injury photographs did not constitute an abuse of discretion. The court reasoned that the judge lacked material information about defendant's case and that the photographs were relevant to disputed issues concerning the extent, timing, and causes of the victim's injuries. The visible text states that defendant's trial was free from prejudicial error and that the death sentence should be upheld, but the opinion's final disposition is not shown.
