3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Accordingly, while the nature and gravity of the error may be relevant to the motivation of the party committing the error, or may give additional weight to a finding of bad faith the crucial focus must remain upon that motivation. ... There is no basis in the record for showing that the prosecution was attempting to save its case for another day by triggering a mistrial. In fact, the prosecution argued vigorously against the mistrial motion. The record contains no indication of prosecutorial overreaching. The trial court’s finding of prejudice as a basis for the mistrial is not enough to bar reprosecution of this defendant.””
