2020Rather than focus on whether the trial court committed obvious error by striking the perjury statement and issuing the curative instruction it did instead of employing some other remedy, such as declaring a mistrial, Almaguer’s entire analysis focuses on whether the prosecutor committed misconduct and whether that misconduct was prejudicial. ¶16 But it is not our role to “review the actions of counsel—at least not directly.” State v. Hummel, 2017 UT 19, ¶ 107 , 393 P.3d 314 .
