Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Tyrone L. Lipson appeals from a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for a new trial. He contends that he was denied his right to effective counsel and a fair trial when, during closing arguments, the prosecutor engaged in both personal and institutional vouching for the truthfulness of the complainants’ accusations. We reject Lipson’s claims and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
