WHICHARD, Justice.
Defendant was charged with armed robbery. The initial trial began on 9 December 1985 before Judge Robert E. Gaines. Defense counsel moved for a mistrial after the prosecutor asked defendant on re-cross examination, "Isn't it true that on [the] assault on [a] female conviction you were originally tried on second degree rape?" The court granted the motion and admonished the prosecutor for asking the question.
