State v. Milner
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of interfering with an officer, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct. The conviction stemmed from an incident at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial judge abused his discretion in denying Defendant’s motion for disqualification following the judge’s disclosure that he had previously been employed by the hospital. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Defendant’s claim was amenable to review; and (2) Defendant failed to meet his burden of establishing the factual basis that created an appearance of bias or partiality, and therefore, the judge properly denied Defendant’s motion for disqualification.
