Before LEHMAN, C.J., and THOMAS, MACY, and GOLDEN, JJ., and TAYLOR, J. Ret.

LEHMAN, Chief Justice.

Convicted of larceny by bailee, appellant Stephen Leiker contends that during closing argument the prosecutor improperly instilled his own opinion regarding the weight of the evidence, shifted the burden of proof, and attacked the integrity of defense counsel infringing upon his right to a fair trial. Leiker failed to object at the time of the prosecutor's closing argument. Finding no plain error, we affirm.
