AN assault trial over a fight that cost a man his left eye ended in a mistrial when his prosthetic eye popped out as he was testifying, startling jurors.

I had read about that.

If it had been up to me, I'd have let the trial continue.

If it had be up to me, I would have listened to the arguments from counsel and made a decision after the fact, not before.
