Syllabus

Aggravated robbery robbery theft having weapons while under disability Crim.R. 33 motion for a new trial abuse of discretion prosecutorial misconduct closing arguments ineffective assistance of counsel cumulative error sufficiency of the evidence manifest weight of the evidence App.R. 12(A)(2). The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the appellant's motion for a new trial based on an isolated comment made by a witness. A comment made during closing arguments did not amount to prosecutorial misconduct, and defense counsel's decision not to object to this comment did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. Appellant's convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. There was no cumulative error.
