Elder v. Commonwealth

How courts have described this case

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

• “possible ‘avenue of appeal’ does not approach the degree of necessity that permits subordination of the defendant’s interests in pursuing his trial to completion”
• procedural error that would lead inevitably to reversal of conviction on appeal may justify declaration of mistrial
• judge's impartiality was not in question \and therefore his obligation was to deny the motion for mistrial\
• protection against double jeopardy would be nullified if defendant required to proceed to trial
