Southeast Judicial District, Barnes County

Oral Argument 11/17/2008

Highlight

A party must make a timely objection to an alleged error in the district court so the court may take appropriate action, if possible, to remedy any prejudice that may have resulted from the claimed error.
The prosecution may not comment on a defendant's failure to testify in a criminal case.
A jury is generally presumed to follow curative instructions.
The prosecution's statement during closing argument that there is no explanation for the prosecution's evidence does not constitute an improper comment on an accused's failure to testify where persons other than the accused could have offered contradictory evidence.
