The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“The decision to grant a mistrial on mention of defendant’s prior criminal activity rests within the trial court’s sound discretion. State v. Harris, 547 S.W.2d 473, 475 (Mo. banc 1977). Mistrial is a drastic remedy, to be granted only with the greatest caution and in extraordinary circumstances. State v. Morgan, 592 S.W.2d 796, 808 (Mo. banc 1980), vacated on other grounds, 449 U.S. 809 , 101 S.Ct. 56 , 66 L.Ed.2d 12 (1980).”

Maddox“Additionally, the prosecutor followed his comments by reading the definition of entrapment contained in the verdict director and in the converse instructions. And at other points during closing argument, the prosecutor accurately reiterated a number of the basic elements of entrapment. Thus, we find no prejudicial error resulted from overruling defendant’s objection to the argument.”
