What constitutes misconduct by a prosecutor in a sexual assault case?

Certainly, "it is misconduct to elicit or attempt to elicit inadmissible evidence in violation of a court ruling. [Citation.]" (People v. Silva (2001) 25 Cal.4th 345, 373.) However, "[c]onduct by a prosecutor that does not violate a court ruling is misconduct only if it amounts to 'the use of deceptive or reprehensible methods to attempt to persuade either the court or the jury' [citations] or 'is so egregious that it infects the trial with such unfairness as to make the conviction a denial of due process.' [Citation.]" (Ibid.)
