1. “"Although the officer's comment was ostensibly about how persons `typically' act, in the context of his entire testimony the challenged statement was not a comment on human behavior in general. It was, rather, a comment on Kidwell's credibility. The officer's testimony was that the police told defendant that they had information that `he had not only forced her to sell the car, but he had raped her and kidnapped her and sodomized her.' The officer had repeatedly mentioned Kidwell by name immediately before that testimony. * * * [T]he comment allowed the jury to infer that the officer believed the complaining witness' story. It was error to admit the testimony." State v. Odoms, supra, 104 Or. App. at 661 , 803 P.2d 739 (emphasis in original). [4]”

2. “A. Yes. Detective Jensen and I continued to question him and told him that we believed that there was something more to all of these allegations than we could put our finger on at that time with his statements to us. And we believed that there was some— perhaps something involved between the two of them that may have caused this allegation by * * * Kidwell to be made.”
