McGill v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Defendant’s motion for a mistrial based on objectionable testimony of a State’s witness, as the testimony was not so prejudicial as to warrant a mistrial; (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Defendant’s motion for a mistrial based on testimony of a State’s witness that introduced uncharged misconduct evidence; and (3) the prosecutor’s statement in rebuttal to defense counsel’s closing argument did not constitute plain error.
