3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The state asserts that the remark by the prosecuting attorney during closing argument, since it does not affirmatively appear in the record, cannot be considered and that its appearance in a motion for new trial does not suffice. We agree that where allegedly improper argument of a prosecuting attorney to a jury does not appear in the record, a motion for new trial averring the alleged improper remark is not self-proving and cannot activate such remark as a basis for error on appeal."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“When statements or intimations are made by a prosecuting attorney in his argument to a jury that an accused has committed other crimes than that for which he is on trial, this constitutes error unless there is evidence in the record from which the jury could infer the commission of another crime by the accused. Simmons v. State, 1939, 139 Fla. 645 , 190 So. 756, 758 .”
