The following excerpt is from People v. Valenzuela, F069488 (Cal. App. 2016):
An appellate court reviews a denial of a mistrial motion for abuse of discretion. (People v. Lewis (2008) 43 Cal.4th 415, 501.) A trial court should grant a mistrial only if it "'"is apprised of prejudice that it judges incurable by admonition or instruction."'" (Ibid.) In assessing whether prejudice is incurable, "'a trial court has considerable discretion.'" (Ibid.)
