PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Alvin Lewis RICHARDSON, Defendant–Appellant.
Statement of Justice Viviano Granting Defendant–Appellant's Motion to Disqualify
VIVIANO, J.
On July 21, 2016, defendant filed a motion to disqualify me from this case. Having presided over defendant's trial, I would have recused myself from the case, regardless of defendant's motion. Therefore, I would grant defendant's motion.
