  • whether the court gives the curative instruction immediately after a prejudicial statement “is a factor in the effectiveness of a curative instruction”
  • “Where the context makes such an inference unlikely, the trial court does not abuse its discretion if it denies the defendant’s motion for a mistrial.”
