Heading: Testimony Regarding Marks on Appellant's Arm

Text: Detective Hawkins testified he observed an area that appeared to be an injection site on Appellant's arm when he was arrested. Appellant objected and moved for a mistrial. The trial court admonished the jury to disregard the detective's comment. A prompt admonishment is presumed to cure any alleged error. Johnson, 472 N.E.2d at 904. Appellant has failed to show us that the detective's comment placed him in a position of peril so grave that it could not be cured by the trial court's admonishment. See Walker v. State (1986), Ind., 497 N.E.2d 543, 544. Further, when a photograph of Appellant's arm was admitted into evidence, Appellant failed to object. Appellant concedes any error here has been waived.
