The trial court did not err in allowing purported undisclosed expert testimony because such testimony was not expert testimony. The trial court did not err in allowing purported other-acts evidence without the State providing notice pursuant to Evid.R. 404(B)(2). The trial court did not err in declining to merge the rape and gross sexual imposition offenses. The trial court did not err when the State showed the jury certain portions of defendant-appellant's videotaped police interview and did not require the State to play the entire video.
