Heading: Combined Impact of Comments

Text: 107 Even if the prosecutor's comments viewed in isolation do not warrant relief, petitioner maintains that their combined impact does. 'Cumulative-error analysis applies where there are two or more actual errors. It does not apply, however, to the cumulative effect of non-errors.' Castro, 138 F.3d at 832 (quoting Hoxsie, 108 F.3d at 1245); see Newsted, 158 F.3d at 1097 (A non-error and a non-prejudicial error do not cumulatively amount to prejudicial error.). This court has considered, in context, each of the alleged instances of prosecutorial misconduct identified by petitioner and concludes that, even when taken together, the comments did not render petitioner's trial fundamentally unfair. 108
