Opinion
No. BF-437.
July 18, 1986. Rehearing Denied September 10, 1986.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County; John D. Southwood, Judge.
Michael E. Allen, Public Defender, and Glenna Joyce Reeves, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Barbara Ann Butler, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jacksonville, for appellee.
While we affirm the final judgment and sentence of the trial court, we cannot overlook the prosecutor's improper comments during closing argument. We commend to the trial judge the use of swift and firm remedial action against counsel who engage in improper argument before a jury.
AFFIRMED.
