If true, that is prima facie case for a mistrial.
Does the judge do it with prejudice?

He should. But who knows?

I think the protests outside the courthouse might be grounds for mistrial --- if so probably not with prejudice. The mistrial for protests would be in line with a faulty issue on venue or change of venue. There is no bad deed by the prosecution to do with prejudice.

To swing the mistrial with prejudice needs an intentional bad action or an egregiously harmful action by the prosecution.

I believe that's on the Board, the prosecution did that during the Trial and the Judge called him on it.
