Criminal Procedure – mistrials — improper prosecutorial conduct

Barry Thorud appeals a judgment of conviction for extortion, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 943.30(1). He argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by failing to declare a mistrial after a comment made by the prosecutor during closing argument. We reject Thorud’s argument and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
