Is there any evidence that a witness's testimony is unsound, unbelievable or even patent lie?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Reyes, B214384, No. BA324849 (Cal. App. 2010):
evidence that a witness's testimony is unsound, unbelievable, or even a patent lie. [Citation.] Although defendant singles out words and phrases, or at most a few sentences, to demonstrate misconduct, we must view the statements in the context of the argument as a whole. [Citation.]" (People v. Dennis (1998) 17 Cal.4th 468, 522.) A prompt objection and request for admonition can readily cure the supposed misconduct. (Id. at p. 520.)
