How courts have described this case

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

• rejecting, at least in part, Professor Wigmore’s suggestion that a Rule 411 violation is a non- reversible error
• refusal to declare a mistrial in cases involving introduction of evidence of liability insurance coverage is appropriate if it is “apparent that the prejudicial effect will be minimal”
• mistrial not justified by inference of insurance coverage that the jury might have drawn from trial testimony
• when reference to insurance is “oblique or obscure, making little impression on the jury, or when the posture of the case makes it apparent that the prejudicial effect will be minimal” a mistrial is not warranted
