Text: Lastly, Mason argues that, regardless of whether the statements are prejudicial when considered singly, they are prejudicial when considered cumulatively. See Michael, 529 A.2d at 765 (Court must weigh cumulative impact of statements to determine if there was plain error); Wright v. State, Del.Supr., 405 A.2d 685 (1979) (same). Mason's claim fails. Even when Mason's seven claims are considered together, there is no plain error. Several of the claims fail for lack of foundation, and when the remainder are examined, one cannot find any repeated references to a single prejudicial issue so that the cumulative effect would be prejudicial. Compare Robertson, 596 A.2d at 1358 (repeated, extensive references to defendant's failure to testify constituted plain error).
