Nebraska Supreme Court January 22, 1971, 37627 (State v. Weiland)

Spencer, J.

This appeal involves the single issue as to whether defendant should have been granted a mistrial because of a reference to a polygraph test taken by a witness against the defendant. We affirm.

The issue may be narrowed to the question, can a defendant on cross-examination secure a mistrial because he elicits a response which, while correct, may be prejudicial to him?
