The following excerpt is from People v. Mears, A136101 (Cal. App. 2014):

" 'A defendant's conviction will not be reversed for prosecutorial misconduct . . . unless it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the defendant would have been reached without the misconduct. [Citation.]' " (People v. Tully (2012) 54 Cal.4th 952, 1010.) Under the circumstances established here no such reasonable probability exists.
