Heading: Alleged prosecutorial impropriety in asking objectionable questions

Text: Defendant quotes at length from the prosecution's cross-examination of Buford Kennedy inquiring into defendant's criminal record, in the course of which the trial court sustained a defense objection to one of the questions as argumentative. Defendant then quotes the following question by the prosecutor asking Sharon Galiano about a residential robbery committed by defendant, to which the trial court sustained a defense objection on the ground the question was leading and suggestive: Did the defendant . . . make a statement to you while he was in the house that he wanted to kill your husband? Finally, defendant simply gives two reporter's transcript citations with the notation that argumentative objections were there sustained, without further elaboration. Defendant presents no argument and makes no effort to establish that his quoted portion of the prosecution's cross-examination of Buford Kennedy, his quoted question from the prosecution's direct examination of Sharon Galiano, or his two citations to the reporter's transcript, individually or collectively, support his allegation of prosecutorial misconduct. Having reviewed the challenged testimony, we conclude that they do not.
