In response to defense counsel's closing argument that the evidence against his client was thin, the prosecutor in his closing told the jury:
We're here because this defendant exercised his Constitutional right to a jury trial. It doesn't mean it's a close call. It doesn't mean the evidence is thin. It just means that he's exercised his Constitutional rights.
