Description
Defendant appeals his conviction of child abuse resulting in death. He contends: (1) the district court should have disqualified the district attorney's office from prosecuting the case because of a conflict of interest; (2) the prosecutor's closing argument was improper; (3) an autopsy photograph should not have been admitted; (4) the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction; and (5) the trial court should have granted his request for a continuance. We affirm, although we agree with Defendant's claim that some of the prosecutor's comments during closing argument constituted improper vouching for a witness.
