113161P.pdf   08/07/2012  United States  v.  Lamarvin Darden
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3161
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Claims of government misconduct before
   the grand jury rejected; evidence regarding a handgun and a gaming
   console became relevant after defendant's cross-examination of a police
   detective and was properly admitted; while prosecution's closing
   argument implying that an acquittal would require the jury to believe the
   police officers were lying was improper, under the applicable plain error
   standard, defendant failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability that the
   outcome of the trial would have been different absent the error. Judge
   Melloy, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
