“The trial court has broad discretion in determining when a mistrial is necessary. As explained in Wiley v. Commonwealth, Ky.App., 575 S.W.2d 166 (1979), “Where, for reasons deemed compelling by the trial judge, who is best situated intelligently to make such a decision, the ends of substantial justice cannot be attained without discontinuing the trial, a mistrial may be declared .... ” Id. at 169 , quoting Gori v. United States, 367 U.S. 364 , 81 S.Ct. 1523 , 6 L.Ed.2d 901 (1961).”
