• concluding the plaintiff preserved error when the court requested counsel not make a motion for mistrial until after the case was submitted and counsel noted on record that he intended to move for mistrial
• noting when a party claims impropriety during closing arguments, “a motion for mistrial is considered timely if made prior to the submission of the case to the jury”
• “A new trial is required for improper conduct by counsel if it appears that prejudice resulted or a different result would have been probable but for any misconduct.”
• “When viewed in its entirety, we 16 conclude the cumulative effect of Rosenberger's counsel's closing argument was an impassioned and inflammatory speech that likely caused severe prejudice to the defendant.”
