The bar is somewhat surprised at
a recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, to the effect that
if prosecuting attorney in Grim
inal case comments upon the failure
of an accused person to testify and
then withdraws his remarks and
asks the Court to instruct the jury
not to consider them, and the Court
SO instructs, it is not error that will
reverse a Judgment upon a verdict.
The general opinion has been other
wise, that is. that any comment
whatever is error and that with
drawing remarks will not save the
case.
