  • holding that it is improper for the State to appeal to the jury to convict a defendant based upon sympathy for a victim
  • finding ultimately that the prosecutor’s comments about protecting the public and rights of victims was not harmless because the state’s evidence against the defendant was far from overwhelming
  • “Urgings, explicit or implied, for the jury to render a verdict based on factors other than the evidence admitted at trial and the law contained in the jury instructions have no place in closing arguments.”
