So of course they'd be willing to lie for him. Otherwise their supply is going to get cut off. Cocaine is a very addictive drug. You will do almost anything to get it. I have seen it.
People lie, cheat, steal, even kill people to get cocaine.
Waller argues that because the case turned on credibility of the witnesses, the prosecutor's argument about Rogers's and Henderson's motive to lie because of a drug-related relationship was not based on any evidence or any inferences from evidence and, therefore, was improper. An attorney is allowed considerable latitude during closing arguments. It is within the trial court's discretion to determine the propriety of counsel's argument to the jury, and this court will affirm the trial court's decision absent a misuse of that discretion. Additionally, whether counsel's arguments impermissibly affected the fairness of the trial is determined by viewing counsel's remarks in the context of the entire trial. The prosecutor's argument was not improper and the trial court did not erroneously exercise its discretion by overruling defense counsel's objection.
