Heading: Reference to Lopez-Medina's Request for an Aluminum Drive Line

Text: In closing, the prosecutor stated: Once again, don't forget, the defendant asked Mr. Fowers for [an] aluminum driveline  remember that  for a truck. (R. Supp. Vol. I, Doc. 181 at 92.) Lopez-Medina contends this statement constitutes prosecutorial misconduct because Fowers referred to a drive line, not an aluminum drive line. He does not indicate the significance of the word aluminum and thus, we can perceive no possible prejudice. In any case, a minor misstatement of fact in closing argument does not constitute prosecutorial misconduct where the evidence of guilt is otherwise strong. See Wilson v. Sirmons, 536 F.3d 1064, 1117 (10th Cir.2008).
