Opinion

No. 136162.

July 23, 2008.

Court of Appeals No. 269919.


Summary Disposition July 23, 2008.

Pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we reverse in part the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we reinstate the defendant's convictions and sentences. The trial court's admitted error in cutting off defense counsel's closing argument to the jury was harmless where the defendant admitted shooting at the victim, the only question for the jury was the defendant's intent, and the jury convicted the defendant of the lesser offense of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. MCL 769.26.

CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ. We would deny leave to appeal.
