How have the courts treated improper comments made by a prosecutor in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Springfield, D055161, Super. Ct. No. SCD212571 (Cal. App. 2010):
Even if the prosecutor's remarks had been improper, we conclude the error was harmless. The court's instructions informing the jury that the parties' questions and arguments are not evidence precluded any reasonable likelihood the jury applied the prosecutor's remarks in an objectionable fashion. (People v. Morales (2001) 25 Cal.4th 34, 44.)
