2 sentences

2020Our supreme court has more recently clarified, however, that waiver of a mistrial claim “occurs where there was neither a request for admonishment nor a motion for mistrial.” Isom v. State, 31 N.E.3d 469, 482 (Ind. 2015).

2020See id. (finding no Court of Appeals of Indiana | Opinion 19A-CR-1515 | January 30, 2020 Page 19 of 22 waiver where Isom moved for a mistrial and proceeding to the merits of Isom’s mistrial claim). [38] Immediately after J.R. referred to the protective order, Smith moved for a mistrial.

Roehl v. Stategreen
wis · 1977 · cited in 1 Indiana opinions naming this issue, 2016–2016
1 sentence

2016The Wisconsin Supreme Court applied similar reasoning in Roehl v. State, 253 N.W.2d 210, 217 (Wis. 1977): “We have frequently said that possible prejudice to a defendant is presumptively erased from the jury’s collective mind when admonitory instructions have been properly given by the court.” As Meyer has not demonstrated either presumption is overcome, we cannot say denial of a mistrial was error. [10] We noted in Piatek that there is little Indiana authority addressing in depth when such a presumption is overcome, but we found guidance in decisions from other states.

State, 754 N.E.2d 899, 901, 903 (Ind.2001); Stokes v. State, 908 N.E.2d 295, 300 (Ind.Ct.App.2009), trans. denied; Pagan v.

1979The New York Court of Appeals found that as the absence of the witnesses was directly attributable to the defendant, the declaration of a mistrial did not bar reprosecution, saying: If the act of a defendant himself aborts a trial, he ought not readily be heard to say that by frustrating the trial he had succeeded in erecting a constitutional shelter based on double jeopardy. 31 N.Y.2d at 380 , 339 N.Y.S.2d at 960 , 292 N.E.2d at 18 .
