TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

PROBLEM: statement during closing argument regarding his personal opinion of the defendant's guilt was improper, but not reversible error). Where it appears that no other verdict could have been properly rendered, prosecutorial misconduct is not reversible error. Hillen v. People, 59 Colo. 280, 284, 149 P. 250, 252 (1915). In light of the overwhelming evidence presented at trial against the defendant, we conclude that the prosecutor's improper remark during closing argument was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Id. at 985 (emphasis added); see also Harris, 888 P.2d at 268 (stating that "the sufficiency of the evidence presented at trial will be considered on appeal when evaluating claims of prosecutorial misconduct"); Grandbouche v. People, 104 Colo. 175, 185, 89 P.2d 577, 581 (1939) (<HOLDING>); Miller v. People, 70 Colo. 313, 317, 201 P.

SOLUTION: (D)

PROBLEM: facts, testimony regarding those facts must be tested through confrontation. If the government thinks it necessary to prove nonstatutory aggravating factors, then it should be required to do so with the Confrontation Clause in tact. C. The Sixth Amendment's Text Because Williams is inapplicable and no Supreme Court opinion is directly controlling, I turn to the Constitution's text. The Confrontation Clause applies in "all criminal prosecutions." U.S. Const. amend. VI. "If 'plain meaning' is the criterion, this is an easy ease. Surely no one would contend that sentencing is not a part, and a vital one, of a 'criminal prosecution.' " Wise, 976 F.2d at 407 (Arnold, C.J., concurring in part and dissenting in part); cf. Robertson v. United States, 417 F.2d 440, 447 (5th Cir.1969) (en banc) (<HOLDING>). This reading of the Sixth Amendment's text
Holding statements: (A) holding that the confrontation clause did not apply to proceedings before a draft board because such proceedings are not stages in a criminal prosecution (B) holding that lyness does not apply to residency proceedings before school board (C) holding that the right to counsel applies in all critical stages of state and federal criminal proceedings (D) holding that the confrontation clause does not apply to the sentencing hearing (E) holding that probation revocation proceedings are clearly not criminal proceedings
