P. v. Pule
Defendant and appellant Lokeni Alisa Pule (defendant) was charged with carjacking and second degree robbery. The two victims separately identified him from a photographic line up and at trial. When arrested, defendant was in possession of a handgun similar to the one used in the carjacking and robbery. The jury found defendant guilty. On appeal, defendant contends that the prosecutor engaged in prejudicial misconduct by expressing his belief in defendants guilt. We hold that defendants claim of prosecutorial misconduct is not reviewable on appeal because he failed to object on that ground or request an admonition in the trial court; that even if we were to review the claim, the challenged remark was not misconduct; and that defendant was not prejudiced by the remark. Court therefore affirm the judgment.
