   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3964
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
Criminal Case - Motion for New Trial. Government appeals grant of motion for new trial based on prosecutor's statement during closing argument. District court is reversed, as comments were not improper. Statement of no evidence from defense or that evidence was unrefuted or uncontradicted are not indirect comments on defendant's failure to testify and grant of new trial was an abuse of discretion.
