Seattle Escorts: STATE v. McCLAIN

McClain argues that the State committed reversible misconduct by implying that he was involved in prostitution, an uncharged crime. Because he failed to object and the comment could have been cured by an instruction, we reject this argument.

McClain argues that the prosecuting attorney “suggested McClain’s friend Liz was a prostitute and McClain was her pimp” during rebuttal closing argument. He contends that the argument was improper because it was not supported by the evidence and implied that he was guilty of an uncharged crime.
