Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

B. Kay Huff, special appellate defender, of Lawrence, for appellant.

Jerome A. Gorman, assistant district attorney, Nick A. Tomasic, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.

Before RULON, C.J., KNUDSON, J., and WAHL, S.J.

Powell also contends the State committed prosecutorial misconduct in its closing argument.
