What is the impact of a prosecutor's attack on the role of defense counsel?

United States v. Friedman, 909 F.2d 705 (2d Cir. 1990), is not to the contrary because the prosecutor there made a sustained attack on the role of defense counsel, including negatively contrasting those who "go out and investigate drug dealers and prosecute drug dealers and try to see them brought to justice" with those "who defend them, try to get them off, perhaps even for high fees." Id. at 707-08. By contrast to such statements, which endeavored to delegitimize any argument made by defense counsel, see id. at 709, the rebuttal statements here responded to defense counsel's specific attacks on the victim's mother and were not unfair.
