Commonwealth v. Taliaferro

HOFFMAN, Judge,

concurring:

I agree with the conclusion of the majority that the improper remarks of the prosecutor were not so prejudicial as to preclude a fair trial of appellant. I disapprove, however, of the pedantic terminology employed by the trial judge in his curative instruction to the jury. Simple language is more, appropriate in an instruction whose aim is to elucidate the law for laypersons. I concur in the majority opinion.
