MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER
SPATT, District Judge.
The presently incarcerated petitioner Kenneth Cardona brings this petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, on grounds that he was denied his constitutional rights through (1) improper remarks by the prosecutor at his trial during the prosecutor’s opening statement, (2) the trial judge’s failure to properly instruct the jury concerning accomplice testimony, and (3) a verdict that was unsupported by the evidence at the trial. For the reasons that follow, the Court denies the petition in its entirety.
