California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Durant, A151338 (Cal. App. 2019):

Durant contends the prosecutor's questions about their prior conversation was improper, contending it is "misconduct 'to suggest that evidence available to the government, but not before the jury, corroborates the testimony of a witness.' " (People v. Bonilla (2007) 41 Cal.4th 313, 336; see People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 827-828.)
