P. v. Ayala
Pedro Ayala, Jr. was convicted, following a jury trial, of attempted robbery. On appeal he contends (1) the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct during his cross-examination of appellant; (2) the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct during his closing argument; and (3) the failure by defense counsel to object to any of the alleged prosecutorial misconduct violated appellants constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. Court agree that the prosecutor committed misconduct in this case. However, because we also conclude that appellant was not prejudiced by the misconduct, Court shall affirm the judgment.
