Task: Text Completion
Input (English): refer to the defendant’s failure to testify. See State v. Clark, 170 W.Va. 224, 292 S.E.2d 643 (1982); State v. McClure, 163 W.Va. 33, 253 S.E.2d 555 (1979); State v. Simon, 132 W.Va. 322, 52 S.E.2d 725 (1949). However, those cases involved isolated remarks that certain evidence was uneontra-dieted, unlike the argument here which repeatedly emphasized the absence of refutation by the defense. Further, the prosecutor’s statements that no one had denied that appellant sold the drugs amounted to an impermissible comment on the appellant’s failure to testify, since appellant was the only one who could have denied it. 172 W.Va. at 134, 304 S.E.2d at 39; see also U.S. v. Cotnam, 88 F.3d 487, 497 (7th Cir.1996), cert. denied, Cotnam v. U.S., 519 U.S. 942, 117 S.Ct. 326, 136 L.Ed.2d 240 (<HOLDING>); Mannarino v. State, 869 So.2d 650
