How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • deciding it was unnecessary to consider defendant’s request for exercise of supervisory authority because prosecutor’s tailoring argument was specific rather than generic
  • declining to establish rule when no such injustice occurred in case
  • defense coun- sel’s failure to object to allegedly improper comments is ‘‘a strong indication that they did not carry substantial weight in the course of the trial as a whole and were not so egregious that they caused the defendant harm’’
  • ‘‘[w]hile the privilege of coun- sel in addressing the jury should not be too closely narrowed or unduly hampered, it must never be used as a license to state, or to comment [on], or to suggest an inference from, facts not in evidence’’ (internal quo- tation marks omitted)
  • providing example of specific tailoring
