## Opinion text

PARKS, Judge, specially
concurring:
I concur in the results of this decision; however I feel it also necessary to note my objection to the prosecutor’s comment quoted in Judge Bussey’s Opinion. Even though the comments were invited by defense counsel, the prosecutor strayed close to prejudicial comments and reversible error.
It is clear that there was strong circumstantial evidence against the defendant, and it is not apparent that there was any prejudicial effect that swayed the jury’s verdict.
