““[T]he decision whether or not to grant a mistrial is within the broad discretion of the trial court [citation], a decision which will not be disturbed unless the defendant establishes that he was prejudiced both by the comment complained of and by the denial of his motion for a mistrial [citation]. Thus, it must appear that there was a manifest necessity for the mistrial or that the ends of justice would be defeated by continuance of the trial [citation]; that is, that the jury has been so influenced and prejudiced that it would not, or could not, be fair and impartial [citation], and the damaging effect of the evidence cannot be remedied by admonitions or instructions [citation].””
