The following excerpt is from People v. Cervantes, B269457 (Cal. App. 2017):
"A prosecutor may fairly comment on and argue any reasonable inferences from the evidence. [Citation.] Comments on the state of the evidence or on the defense's failure to call logical witnesses, introduce material evidence, or rebut the People's case are generally permissible. [Citation.] However, a prosecutor may not suggest that 'a defendant has a duty or burden to produce evidence, or a duty or burden to prove his or her innocence.' [Citations.]" (People v. Woods (2006) 146 Cal.App.4th 106, 112.)
