State v. Leutschaft
Court of Appeals of Minnesota
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
SHUMAKER, Judge.
In this appeal from his conviction of assault in the second degree and possession of a small amount of marijuana, appellant argues that the prosecutor committed misconduct sufficient to deny him his right to a fair trial by (1) impeaching his credibility through an allegation of tailoring his testimony; (2) asking “were they lying” questions; (3) eliciting and arguing irrelevant but prejudicial information; (4) im-permissibly vouching for the state’s main witness; and (5) injecting public-policy arguments into the state’s closing argument. We affirm.
