MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Tate, 921 F.2d 282 (9th Cir. 1990):
Tate also argues that her due process rights were violated by "prosecutorial vouching" during the rebuttal argument. "Prosecutorial vouching may occur when the prosecutor either (1) 'place[s] the prestige of the government behind the witness' through personal assurances of the witness's veracity, or (2) suggests that 'information not presented to the jury supports the witness's testimony.' " United States v. Wallace, 848 F.2d 1464, 1473 (9th Cir.1988) (citation omitted).
