051253P.pdf   02/10/2006  USA  v.  Thurman Griffin, Sr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1253
   District of Nebraska   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - criminal law. Claim that prosecutorial misconduct 
   during defendant's cross-examination required a mistrial rejected, as the 
   prosecutor had a good faith basis to believe questions about defendant's 
   prior conviction were permissible under Rule 609 and because the court 
   promptly sustained defendant's objections and instructed the jury to 
   disregard the questions; claim of prosecutorial misconduct during closing 
   argument rejected.
