Heading: whether it was reversible error for the prosecutorial team to make crawford's impending release from a mental institution a constant theme in the case?

Text: ¶ 38. Crawford argues that [a]dded to the other error, this court should reverse appellant's conviction since the prosecution made appellant's impending release from the mental hospital a constant theme in the case. Crawford notes several statements he deems improper. However, none of these statements were objected to at the trial court. Thus, the point was waived in the court below and is deemed forfeited on appeal to this Court. Box v. State, 610 So.2d 1148, 1154 (Miss.1992) (citations omitted). A contemporaneous objection is necessary to preserve complaints concerning allegedly prejudicial comments made by a prosecutor. Edwards v. State, 737 So.2d 275 (Miss.1999); Manning v. State, 735 So.2d 323 (Miss.1999); Watts v. State, 733 So.2d 214 (Miss.1999); Weatherspoon v. State, 732 So.2d 158 (Miss.1999); Skinner v. State, 726 So.2d 272 (Miss.Ct.App.1998). Thus, this assignment of error is without merit.
