P. v. Grant
Defendant Patrick Grant appeals his convictions for second degree robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon. Defendant contends: (1) the trial court abused its discretion by failing to question the jurors about whether they could set aside the fact that one of the robbery victims was an off-duty police officer in assessing his credibility; (2) the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct by repeatedly emphasizing that the victim was a police officer and inappropriately vouching for his credibility; and (3) counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to the references to the victim’s status as a police officer, eliciting testimony that defendant was on parole, and acknowledging that “maybe†defendant committed the robberies. We shall affirm.
