“The decision to grant a motion for mistrial lies within the sound discretion of the trial court. In order to establish that a denial of a mistrial motion constituted an abuse of discretion, the appellant must demonstrate that he was placed in a position of grave peril to which he should not have been subjected. The declaration of a mistrial is an extreme action which is warranted only when no other recourse could remedy the perilous situation.”
