1994The State says the argument “was clearly an attempt by the defense to suggest to the jury that they should return a verdict of not guilty because the potential punishment was so severe.” In State v. McMorris, 290 N.C. 286 , 225 S.E.2d 553 (1976), we said that a defendant’s attorney should not be permitted to argue that a defendant should be acquitted because of the severity of the punishment or to question the appropriateness of the punishment.
