Declaring a mistrial was the correct thing to do. Even if he had asked the jury to disregard the testimony of Tom Lyons, it would have left a gaping hole in the trial. Corey would have not only had CLEAR AND PRECISE grounds for an appeal, but it would also left an opportunity for the verdict to be REVERSED. This is why the D.A. agreed with the mistrial request and was included as a part of the original request. The D.A. removed his name from said renetenrequest just in time for Judge Hill to grant the mistrial. Had he not removed his name from the request, and the mistrial granted, Corey Lyons would not be subject to another trial under the laws of Double Jeopardy. The facts are, however, that the Judge, the Prosecutor AND the Defendant felt that a mistrial was IN FACT warranted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
