COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. LYNELL RAGLAND

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. LYNELL RAGLAND
No. 2599 EDA 2008 2010 PA Super 32 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 3/9/2010

Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence July 31, 2008
In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County
Criminal Division at No(s): CP-51-CR-0711501-2006
Before: STEVENS, SHOGAN, and COLVILLE, JJ.
Opinion by: STEVENS, J.
This is an appeal from the judgment of sentence entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County after a jury convicted Lynell Ragland of endangering the welfare of a child and corrupting a minor. On July 31, 2008, he was sentenced to a one (1) to two (2) year term of imprisonment to run consecutively with a sentence he was already serving and five years reporting probation. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in refusing to grant a mistrial when the prosecution made improper statements to the jury during closing argument that deprived him of a fair trial. We affirm.
