Can a prosecutor ask a witness not to discuss certain subject area in their closing argument?

We also reject defendant's claim that the prosecutor committed misconduct. No misconduct occurs if a witness is explicitly instructed not to discuss a certain subject area but, as here, ignores that directive. (See People v. Seaton (1983) 146 Cal.App.3d 67, 76-77, 194 Cal.Rptr. 33.) The question the prosecutor asked was entirely proper in light of the fact that the [763 P.2d 1280] witness had been told to limit her answer to defendant's statement that he "knew all the tricks."
