  …sment of the evidence presented and the arguments of counsel. Compare Shingleton v. Bussey, Fla.1969, 223 So. 2d 713, 718. The trial judge, too, is afforded great latitude in his discretion to grant or deny a motion for mistrial. Eg., Furr v. State, 152 Fla. 233, 9 So. 2d 801 (1942).

State, 1943, 152 Fla. 508, 12 So. 2d 292) to vest in the trial court’s discretion as to the extent and circumstances in which it may be employed. Furr v.
