Mistrial Sample Clauses

A mistrial clause defines the procedures and consequences if a trial is declared invalid before a verdict is reached. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which a mistrial may be declared, such as procedural errors or jury misconduct, and specifies whether the case may be retried or dismissed. Its core function is to provide clarity and predictability in the event of a mistrial, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and obligations should the trial not reach a proper conclusion.
Mistrial. Before ordering a mistrial, the court must give each defendant and the government an op- portunity to comment on the propriety of the order, to state whether that party consents or objects, and to suggest alternatives. (Added Apr. 22, 1993, eff. Dec. 1, 1993; amended Apr. 29, 2002, eff. Dec. 1, 2002.) NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES—1993 Rule 26.3 is a new rule designed to reduce the possibil- ity of an erroneously ordered mistrial which could produce adverse and irretrievable consequences. The Rule is not designed to change the substantive law gov- erning mistrials. Instead it is directed at providing both sides an opportunity to place on the record their views about the proposed mistrial order. In particular, the court must give each side an opportunity to state whether it objects or consents to the order. Several cases have held that retrial of a defendant was barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Con- stitution because the trial court had abused its discre- tion in declaring a mistrial. See United States ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, 913 F.2d 1305 (8th Cir. 1990); United States ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, 917 F.2d 388 (9th Cir. 1990). In both cases the appellate courts concluded that the trial court had acted precip- itately and had failed to solicit the parties’ views on the necessity of a mistrial and the feasibility of any al- ternative action. The new Rule is designed to remedy that situation. The Committee regards the Rule as a balanced and modest procedural device that could benefit both the prosecution and the defense. While the ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ decisions adversely affected the government’s interest in prosecuting serious crimes, the new Rule could also benefit defendants. The Rule ensures that a defendant has the opportunity to dissuade a judge from declaring a mistrial in a case where granting one would not be an abuse of discretion, but the defendant believes that the prospects for a favorable outcome before that particu- lar court, or jury, are greater than they might be upon retrial. COMMITTEE NOTES ON RULES—2002 AMENDMENT The language of Rule 26.3 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Criminal Rules to make Page 107 TITLE 18, APPENDIX—RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Rule 27 them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only.
