21, 2005 v No. 254640 Wayne Circuit Court  LC No. 03-009003-01
Defendant appeals as of right his jury trial convictions for one
count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC I), MCL
750.520b(1)(b), and one count of second-degree criminal sexual
conduct (CSC II), MCL 750.520c(1)(b). The jury acquitted
defendant of four additional counts of CSC I. Defendant was
sentenced to concurrent prison terms of twelve to twenty years
for CSC I and seven and one-half to fifteen years for CSC II. We
affirm. Defendant first argues that he was denied a fair trial
because of prosecutorial misconduct. We disagree. Defendant did
not object to any of the allegations of prosecutorial
misconduct. Therefore, we review to determine if there was plain
error that affected defendant?s substantial rights. People v
Rodriguez, 251 Mich App 10, 32; 650 NW2d 96 (2002). ?Reversal is
warranted only when plain error resulted in the conviction of an
actually innocent defenda
