Di Maria v. Curtiss Wright Corp.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the trial judge erred in failing to “consider any alternatives to a mistrial such as severance or curative instructions” (internal punctuation omitted)
• abuse of discretion where mistrial declared abruptly without input from either standby defense counsel or the prosecutor
• “With the record barren of any hint whatsoever that the judge was aware of the double jeopardy implications of his decision, we cannot agree that his discretion was sound.”
• “A precipitate [sic] decision, reflected by a rapid sequence of events culminating in a declaration of a mistrial, would tend to indicate insufficient concern for the defendant’s constitutional protection.”
