Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General William M. Blitch, Jr., both of Columbia; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Georgetown, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Wilson, 389 S.C. 579, 584-85, 698 S.E.2d 862, 864-65 (Ct. App. 2010) (holding a defendant adequately preserved the issue of mistrial for appellate review when he objected and moved for a mistrial, declined a curative instruction, and the trial court denied his motion for a mistrial); State v. Cooper, 334 S.C. 540, 551, 514 S.E.2d 584, 590 (1999) ("The granting or refusing of a motion for a mistrial lies within the sound discretion of the trial court and its ruling will not be disturbed on appeal unless an abuse of discretion amounting to an error of law occurs."); State v. Stanley, 365 S.C. 24, 34, 615 S.E.2d 455, 460 (Ct.

(internal citations omitted)).1

SHORT, PIEPER, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
