Banks v. Stategreen
fla · 2010 · cited in 1 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2017–2017
1 sentence

2017Heady’s motion for written opinion argues that “[t]he decision of this Court to affirm the denial of the motion is contrary to the mistrial standard set by the Florida Supreme Court in Ibar v. State, 938 So.2d 451, 470-471 (Fla. 2006) and Banks v. State, 46 So.3d 989, 997 (Fla. 2010).” In Ibar, the defendant moved for mistrial because a detective testified that the first lead in solving the case came from a police homicide unit, from which the jury could have inferred that Ibar was being held on another homicide.

2016See Joseph v. State, 704 So.2d 1149 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) (“[T]he strong curative instruction promptly given by the trial court alleviated any possible prejudice, thus the court correctly denied the mistrial motion.”). *80 III.

Breedlove v. Stategreen
fla · 1991 · cited in 1 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2016–2016
1 sentence

2016While it is undoubtedly true that testimony regarding the detective’s disciplinary history in another case was irrelevant in the instant case, see Breedlove v. State, 580 So.2d 605, 609 (Fla.1991), we do not find that the trial court abused its discretion by denying the defendant’s motion for a mistrial because the defense counsel’s objection to the State’s question was sustained before Detective Stein answered the question, and the trial court gave the jury a curative instruction.

2008For the reasons more extensively set forth in my special concurrence in Salazar v. State, 991 So.2d 364 (Fla.2008), I do not agree with the majority's use of the mistrial standard in this case because counsel both objected and moved for a mistrial.
