Heading: Jury Argument

Text: 27 Petitioners contend the prosecutor committed misconduct by misrepresenting the plea agreement to the jury during argument, and that this misconduct violated their right to due process under the fourteenth amendment. We disagree. 28 In his argument to the jury, the prosecutor referred to Meyer's testimony. He told the jury that Meyer was going to spend a year in the county jail, and it's not as if he exactly just skated off free. In making this argument it was Meyer's testimony--his credibility--to which the prosecutor was referring. So far as Meyer knew, at the time he testified he was facing the prospect of a year in the county jail. This is what the prosecutor's argument conveyed. When viewed in this context, the prosecutor's remarks did not misrepresent the plea agreement or amount to misconduct. Accordingly, we do not reach the petitioner's due process argument. 29 AFFIRMED.
