PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Troy Antonio BROWN, Defendant-Appellant.
Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 18, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this order. The prosecutor shall specifically address whether the uncorrected testimony of Detective-Sergeant Robert Eidt that defendant was the one who said that the truth was somewhere in the middle, as repeatedly reinforced by the trial prosecutor, "could in any reasonable likelihood have affected the judgment of the jury." People v. Smith, 498 Mich. 466, 476, 870 N.W.2d 299 (2015). The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
