Description

The above-quoted statement was uninvited by defense counsel, and a totally improper line of argument to pursue at the guilt/innocence stage of the proceedings. The error was compounded by the overruling of the appellants objection. The States contention that the statement was a legitimate plea for law enforcement is untenable. The improper remark was the last statement made to the jury before they retired to deliberate, and we cannot conclude that it constituted only harmless error, especially in light of the trial courts ruling.
