People v. McWhorter

Michigan Court of Appeals

Decided April 9, 1986No. Docket 90350PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:.

Defendant was convicted by a jury of kidnapping, MCL 750.349; MSA 28.581, and conspiracy to kidnap, MCL 750.157a; MSA 28.354(1). He was sentenced to concurrent terms of 2 to 5 years in prison on each count.

Defendant appealed and, in an unpublished opinion per curiam, we reversed on two grounds. We concluded that the prosecutor’s comments in closing argument that defendant’s presence at trial afforded him an opportunity to fabricate a story and the prosecutor’s questioning of defendant regarding his financial condition required reversal. Docket No. 54321, decided May 2, 1984.
