California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Read, A143253, A146123 (Cal. App. 2016):
Assuming the claim was properly preserved, the question becomes whether the prosecutorial misconduct was prejudicial, that is, whether it is reasonably probable a result more favorable to the defendant would have occurred if the prosecutor had refrained from the misconduct.4 (People v. Haskett (1982) 30 Cal.3d 841, 866.) Prosecutorial misconduct requires reversal under federal law unless the misconduct was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Cook (2006) 39 Cal.4th 566, 608.)
