3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[C]losing arguments are not evidence, neither do they substitute for proper jury instructions. ... Had the jury been properly focused, via proper instructions, on the legal distinctions between a conspiracy to distribute marijuana and a mere buyer-seller relationship, the jury may well have found a buyer-seller relationship in this case. The failure to properly instruct the jury therefore denied the defendant a fair trial on Count 1.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Kougl · State v. Kougl“if a defendant objects to a sentence enhancement resulting from her trial testimony, a district court must review the evidence and make independent findings necessary to establish a willful impediment to or obstruction of justice, or an attempt to do the same, under the perjury definition we have set out.”
