Heading: whether the trial court erred in allowing the state of mississippi to misstate the meaning of its dna probability statistics

Text: ¶ 32. Watts next asserts that in closing arguments, the prosecution mischaracterized the testimony of statistical expert, Dr. Martin Tracey, and otherwise misled the jury as to the significance of the DNA evidence. No objections were made at trial to the complained of comments and thus, the issue is procedurally barred. Jackson v. State, 684 So.2d 1213, 1226 (Miss.1996); Davis v. State, 660 So.2d 1228, 1245-46 (Miss.1995); Chase v. State, 645 So.2d 829, 854 (Miss.1994).
