Lucio v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that denial of mistrial was not abuse of discretion where statement was fleeting, inadvertent, and only a minor part of the evidence against the defendant and the trial court admonished jury to disregard the statement
• stating that the remedy of a mistrial is “extreme strong medicine that should only be prescribed when no other action can be expected to remedy the situation at the trial level.”
• emphasizing the “strong presumptions that juries follow courts’ instructions and that an admonition cures any error”
• emphasizing the strong presumption that juries follow the courts’ instructions and that an admonishment cures any error
• affirming denial of mistrial where witness’s reference to defendant’s time in jail was fleeting, inadvertent, and only a minor part of the evidence against defendant and the jury was admonished
• upholding trial court’s denial of a mistrial motion despite witness’s reference to Lucio being jailed in the past, in part because the reference was a mistake by a civilian witness, no other witness testified to it, and the State did not argue it at the close of trial
