People v. Custer

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of delivering a controlled substance to a confidential source. No ineffective assistance counsel by defense counsel failing to object to prosecutor's rebuttal argument that police officer did not know who the target was until she was informed by the confidential source.  Prosecutor's statement was appropriate, as it was based on a reasonable inference drawn from testimony the jury heard. When counsel, in closing argument, asserts facts that are inferable from evidence before the jury, counsel need not state that counsel's argument rests upon an inference. (HARRIS and HOLDER WHITE, concurring.)
