CARDONE: I have a motion in limine, Your Honor, asking this Honorable Court to instruct the District Attorney's Office to instruct its witnesses who are about to testify not to make mention of any other crimes that the defendant may have legally [sic] committed at another time or place. BY MR. KNIGHT: I would like the record to reflect that I have spoken to Dr. [sic] Applebaum and Jiminez and instructed them not to mention in their testimony this afternoon any evidence or any facts, statements about any other crimes the defendant may have or may not have committed. BY THE COURT: And the defense motion is granted. La.C.Cr.P. art. 771 provides, in pertinent part: In the following cases, upon the request of the defendant or the state, the court shall promptly admonish the jury to disregard a remark or comment made during the trial, or in argument within the hearing of the jury, when the remark is irrelevant or immaterial and of such a nature that it might create prejudice against the defendant, or the state, in the mind of the jury: * * * * * * (2) When the remark or comment is made by a witness or person other than the judge, district attorney, or a court official, regardless of whether the remark or comment is within the scope of Article 770. In such cases, on motion of the defendant, the court may grant a mistrial if it is satisfied that an admonition is not sufficient to assure the defendant a fair trial.”
