How have courts dealt with allegations of misconduct in a closing argument?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Peacock, C070068 (Cal. App. 2016):
11. On appeal, defendant does not contend the prosecutor committed misconduct during closing argument, nor could he do so, having failed to object in the trial court. (People v. Tully (2012) 54 Cal.4th 952, 1045.) Thus, we need not discuss the prosecutor's comments about the instruction during closing arguments.
