COURT OF APPEALS
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
UNPUBLISHED
July 1, 1997
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 183900
Wayne Circuit Court
LC No. 94-010162
LOUIS WILLIAMSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Cavanagh, P.J., and Doctoroff and D.A. Teeple*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant appeals by right his jury conviction of two counts of food stamp fraud. He claims
that the prosecutor’s closing argument, to which there was one objection (during rebuttal), which was
sustained, deprived him of a fair trial. He points to no particular aspect of the closing argument and has
cited this Court to improper transcript pages.
Nonetheless, this Court has examined the entire closing and rebuttal closing argument proffered
by the prosecutor, and finds that the prosecutor did no more than argue the facts in evidence and, from
those facts, the credibility of conflicting witnesses. There was no impropriety in this argument, but if
there was, it did not rise to the level of reversible error. People v Bahoda, 448 Mich 261; 531 NW2d
659 (1995).
Affirmed.
/s/ Mark J. Cavanagh
/s/ Martin M. Doctoroff
