1Opinion of the CourtShea, J.
A jury found the defendant guilty of murder1 in causing the death of Laverne Dowdy, and manslaughter in the first degree2 in causing the death of *648Steven Phillips. In this appeal he maintains the court erred (1) in admitting into evidence his postarrest statements; (2) in charging the jury on the issues of extreme emotional disturbance and the failure to produce a missing witness; (3) in commenting on the evidence during the charge; (4) in denying a motion for mistrial after the prosecutor engaged in improper conduct; and (5) in refusing to grant his motion for acquittal.3 We find no error.
