P. v. Thomas CA4/3
A jury convicted Trisha Thomas of three counts of arson (Pen. Code, § 451, subd. (d), and one count of vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subds. (a), (b)). The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Thomas on probation for five years.
Thomas asserts the prosecutor committed misconduct during closing argument by misstating the law on necessity, and by mentioning possible punishment.
We conclude the challenged arguments were not prosecutorial misconduct, and were harmless in any event. Therefore, we affirm the judgment.
