People v. Stinson

In People v. Stinson, 113 Mich App 719, 726-727; 318 NW2d 513 (1982), the Court held the trial court did not abuse its discretion where a prosecution witness revealed he had prior contact with the defendant, possibly making the jury aware of the defendant's juvenile record. The Court noted the answer was unresponsive, the trial court cautioned the officer to answer questions more directly, and also cautioned the jury to disregard the officer's previous answer. Id. at 727.
