How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that State’s unobjected-to questioning of defendant, which elicited admission that defendant drank while driving, did not constitute plain error where defendant refused curative instruction and did not move for mistrial
- mistrial should not be granted absent prejudice, and trial court decision on motion for mistrial should not be disturbed on appeal absent abuse of discretion
- “Defense counsel bears some responsibility to inform the court if he or she feels corrective action is necessary in order to cure an error.”
- where the defendant objected to a question posed to a witness and the court sustained the objection, the defendant waived any claim of error because the defendant did not ask for a curative instruction or a mistrial
- refusing court’s offer of a curative instruction
