Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Clayton R. Kaeiser, Special Assistant Public Defender, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Paulette R. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General, for Appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and GERSTEN, JJ.


PER CURIAM.

Yves St. Jean appeals his conviction for manslaughter, contending that there should be a reversal on account of a portion of the closing argument by the prosecutor. We conclude that the objected-to argument was fair reply to the defendant's own closing argument, which charged improper police interrogation techniques. See Ferguson v. State, 417 So.2d 639, 641-42 (Fla.1982); Kent v. State,
