The following excerpt is from Charalambopoulos v. UHS of Rancho Springs, Inc., E049808 (Cal. App. 2012):
"In conducting closing argument, attorneys for both sides have wide latitude to discuss the case. '"'"The right of counsel to discuss the merits of a case, both as to the law and facts, is very wide, and he has the right to state fully his views as to what the evidence shows, and as to the conclusions to be fairly drawn therefrom. The adverse party cannot complain if the reasoning be faulty and the deductions illogical, as such matters are ultimately for the consideration of the jury."'" [Citations.]'" (Cassim v. Allstate Ins. Co. (2004) 33 Cal.4th 780, 795.)
