How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that the prosecutor’s comment during closing argument that “[defense counsel] doesn’t think the evidence is enough. That’s her job. She is defending the defendant” did not mandate reversal
- “We think that these comments ... were within the range of appropriate advocacy and therefore not erroneous, much less so beyond the pale as to vitiate the trial entirely and require a new one.”
