What is the effect of improper or improper comments made by a prosecutor in a statement to a grand jury?

All defendants contend that the statement was improper and warrants reversal of their convictions, arguing that improper prosecutorial references to the grand jury warrant reversal and a new trial. See, e.g., United States v. Cummings, 468 F.2d 274, 278 (9th Cir.1972). Although we do not condone the comments of the prosecutor, the admonition and the instruction of the trial court was sufficient to remove any prejudicial impact. See United States v. Polizzi, 500 F.2d 856, 889-90 (9th Cir.1974), cert. denied, 419 U.S. 1120, 95 S.Ct. 802, 42 L.Ed.2d 820 (1975); United States v. Sutton, 446 F.2d 916, 922 (9th Cir.1971), cert. denied, 404 U.S. 1025, 92 S.Ct. 699, 30 L.Ed.2d 675 (1972). Accordingly, we hold that the comments of the prosecutor do not warrant reversal.
