Heading: was there cumulative error in this issue?

Text: ¶ 228. Holland asserts that our caselaw will allow a cumulation of otherwise harmless error to result in reversal. See Jenkins v. State, 607 So.2d 1171, 1183-84 (Miss. 1992); Griffin v. State, 557 So.2d 542, 552-53 (Miss. 1990); see also United States v. Garza, 608 F.2d 659, 665 (5th Cir.1979). ¶ 229. This Court has addressed each of Holland's claims of prosecutorial misconduct and has applied the procedural bar to many. Alternatively, considering the issues on the merits we have determined that each alleged error is wholly without merit. Thus, there can be no cumulative error that would cause reversal. Foster v. State, 639 So.2d 1263 (Miss. 1994), cert. denied, 514 U.S. 1019, 115 S.Ct. 1365, 131 L.Ed.2d 221 (1995). Here there are simply no errors, hence [t]wenty times zero equals zero. Mullen v. Blackburn, 808 F.2d 1143, 1147 (5th Cir.1987).
