She once again asked me questions about my spiritual beliefs. Her manner was professional and cordial. If you know me, you know how soul crushingly hard that was for me! Recounting the conduct of the trial she described her dissatisfaction with the prosecution and particularly the defense.

Focusing on the defense, for example, she wrote: The prosecution was all politeness and comfort. The defense was all douchebaggery and well.

Sometimes it was a little irritating. They would have made a better impression had they just stuck to answering the question as swiftly and honestly as they could. Acuna moved to vacate the judgment under Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure Under Rule Serna, Ariz.

Orantez, Ariz. Bilke, Ariz. Here, the trial court found no colorable claim requiring an evidentiary hearing. Amaral, Ariz. Nelson, Ariz. Dickens, Ariz. The rule, clarified in Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure Cruz, Ariz.

A defendant may be entitled to a new trial only if a juror conceals facts pertaining to his qualifications or bias on proper inquiry during voir dire. Wilson v. Wiggins, 54 Ariz. Consequently, juror affidavits could be used to prove that one or more of the jurors intentionally concealed bias or prejudice on proper voir dire examination, Dickens, Ariz. Accordingly, the judge did not err in denying a new trial on grounds of juror misconduct.

Colorado, S. As such, the blog reveals her potential biases as they existed during trial, and nothing in her blog indicates she harbored racial animus toward Acuna. In its ruling denying the motion to vacate the judgment, the trial court focused on the final two Bilke factors, determining that the blog entry was not material to the issue s involved, and was not likely to change the verdict or sentence. Anderson, Ariz. Hughes, Ariz. Defense counsel objected only to the second statement of the prosecutor.

The trial court then asked the prosecutor to confine herself to a preview of the evidence. Opening statement is not a time to argue the inferences and conclusions that may be drawn from evidence not yet admitted. Lynch, Ariz. Bible, Ariz. Arizona, S. Defense counsel objected to these statements.

Lamar, Ariz. Any conflicting evidence is for the jury, as the finder of fact, to resolve. Trotter, Ariz. Bailey, Ariz. Roscoe, Ariz. See id. Mincey, Ariz. Bolton, Ariz.

Stipulations to jury Acuna argues that the prosecutor committed misconduct in requesting the stipulations that the trial court read to the jury, which contradicted the testimony of Sylvia Z. We disagree. Just as reading the stipulations were not error, the prosecutor did not engage in misconduct by requesting them.

Vouching Acuna next argues that the prosecutor engaged in several instances of vouching. Vincent, Ariz. King, Ariz. Roberts, F. Newell, Ariz. Taylor, Ariz. This was not impermissible vouching. You have been presented with the truth. See Vincent, Ariz. But, Griselda and Sylvia were thoroughly impeached on cross-examination, and the isolated nature of this comment, which relies heavily on implication, did not prejudice Acuna. Thus, the prosecutor did not impermissibly express her personal opinion to the jury.

Ruiz, F. Younger, F. But, like the Ninth Circuit in Younger, F. We know Officer Peck was correct because he told the guy on the ground. Because imagine if you heard nothing but a parade of witnesses who said exactly the same thing, exactly the same way, what would the allegation then be? The government coached them. The government practiced with them.

This statement therefore did not constitute vouching. Because the story that the defendant needs you to believe is that everyone else is wrong except [Sylvia and Griselda].

Not only that everybody is wrong, but somehow they are lying. That this whole case is an amazing series of unfortunate coincidences, that the defendant was never involved in any of this, that every person except for Sylvia and Griselda are lying to you, and they lied about everything.

Lied about everything. Acuna did not object to this statement. Schneider, Ariz. Trostle, Ariz. Burns, Ariz. The Ninth Circuit in Ruiz considered a similar issue, wherein the prosecutor had argued that, in order to find the defendant not guilty, the jury would have to find that officers had lied to the jury. In its analysis, the Ninth Circuit stated: [P]rosecutors have been admonished time and again to avoid statements to the effect that, if the defendant is innocent, government agents must be lying.

It is also true, however, that the prosecution must have reasonable latitude to fashion closing arguments. Inherent in this latitude is the freedom to argue reasonable inferences based on the evidence.

In a case that essentially reduces to which of two conflicting stories is true, it may be reasonable to infer, and hence to argue, that one of the two sides is lying.

But, this statement occurred during her guilt-phase rebuttal closing argument, and proper instructions were provided on multiple occasions. The trial court provided the final jury instructions with the required burden of proof before closing arguments, the prosecutor mentioned the burden on the State near the beginning of her closing argument, the defense discussed the burden on the State in its closing argument, and the prosecutor mentioned it again in her rebuttal closing argument slightly after the offending comment.

Integrity of defense counsel Acuna next claims that the prosecutor committed misconduct by impugning the integrity and honesty of opposing counsel. Cornell, Ariz. Armstrong, Ariz. They new [sic] every answer. These comments are not improper. Acuna argues that the prosecutor both implicitly argued that defense counsel had a duty to concede the aggravating circumstance and impugned the character of defense counsel for defending their client.
