State v. Clarkgreen1 sentence2003In the instant case, just as in Scott , “[t]he defendant has not alleged or proven bad faith on the part of the prosecution.” Moreover, also as in Scott , in the instant case “there is sufficient evidence to connect the defendant with the crime for which he is charged independent of any inference in the district attorney’s opening statement.” Similarly in State v. Clark, 499 So.2d 332, 337 (La.App. 4 Cir.1986), this Court found no reversible error in an improper reference by the prosecution in closing argument tying the defendant to a “getaway van” via a license plate: Williams further argues | 1 | 1 |
