California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Red, E056593 (Cal. App. 2014):
Defendant asserts the prosecutor's remarks, when considered together, amount to misconduct. As set forth ante, the prosecutor's remarks in the first three segments did not amount to misconduct, and any misconduct issues in the fourth segment was not preserved for review. Since we have not found misconduct, there cannot be a cumulative harm. (People v. Tully, supra, 54 Cal.4th at p. 1023.)
