Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Oklahoma

Mistrial
A friend's right to a fair trial has been violated on the grounds of prejudicial evidence. Their lawyer claims that evidence didn't enter the case. I do not trust that this is true. How do I can I prove or disprove my friend had a fair trial and have or have not a right to a mistrial? Do I need to file for trial records to see if the evidence was shown to the jury? What do I do if my friend's lawyer refuse to ask for a mistrial?

Re: Mistrial

If you don't even know what evidence was used in the case, how can you say that prejudicial evidence tainted the trial?

If you have particular evidence in mind your friend's lawyer should be able to tell you whether it was admitted.
