| 2 | McManus v. State | green | “the best position to gauge the surrounding circumstances of an event and its impact on the jury.” | 7 |
| 3 | McManus v. State | green | “on appeal, the trial judge's discretion in determining whether to grant a mistrial is afforded great deference because the judge is in the best position to gauge the surrounding circumstances of an event and its impact on the jury.” | 7 |
| 4 | James v. State | green | “when determining whether a mistrial is warranted, we consider whether the defendant was placed in a position of grave peril to which he should not have been subjected; the gravity of the peril is determined by the probable persuasive effect on the jury's decision.” | 5 |
