The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Foster, 711 F.2d 871 (9th Cir. 1983):
The prosecutor may well have exceeded the wide latitude permitted counsel in closing argument. See United States v. Parker, 549 F.2d 1217, 1222 (9th Cir.1977), cert. denied, 430 U.S. 971, 97 S.Ct. 1659, 52 L.Ed.2d 365 (1977). The next morning, however, defense counsel agreed to the prosecutor's offer to correct any misconception. The prosecutor then told the jury that he was referring to the defendants only and did not mean to imply that defense counsel were part of a conspiracy.
