P. v. Willis
A jury convicted defendant Joseph Douglas Willis of two separate street robberies, and found that he personally used a sawed-off shotgun in their commission. The court sentenced him to state prison.
On appeal, defendant raises only the issue of prosecutorial misconduct during closing argument. Specifically, he asserts a violation of his right to due process of law because the prosecutor trivialized the nature of reasonable doubt, lowering the burden of proof for the prosecution. We affirm the judgment.
