Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. The prosecutor's closing argument comments, which the jury was properly instructed to disregard, were not so per nicious, in the context of this case, as to require that the defendant be granted a new trial. See Darden v. State, 329 So.2d 287 (Fla.1976), cert. dismissed, 430 U.S. 704, 97 S.Ct. 1671, 51 L.Ed.2d 751 (1977); Thomas v. State, 326 So.2d 413 (Fla.1976); Zamot v. State, 375 So.2d 881 (Fla.3d DCA 1979); Johnson v. State, 348 So.2d 646 (Fla.3d DCA 1977); James v. State, 334 So.2d 83 (Fla.3d DCA 1976).
