1Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT BY

LUM, CJ.

Defendants-Appellants George Steven Senteno (“Senteno”) and Frank Peter Gallegos (“Gallegos”) (collectively “Appellants”) appeal their convictions for conspiracy to promote a dangerous drug. Appellants claim the prosecutor’s improper argument denied them a fair trial, and the jury rendered inconsistent verdicts. In addition, Gallegos contends he was deprived of a speedy trial and that the court failed to rule on his motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of the State’s case. We find merit in none of Appellants’ contentions and affirm the convictions.
