LaROSE, Judge.
Jose Oscar Perez, Jr., appeals his conviction for second-degree murder with a firearm. He argues that the trial court erroneously denied his new trial motion after the prosecutor asked a question that Mr. Perez claims improperly shifted the burden of proof to the defense. Mr. Perez failed to preserve this issue for appeal; he did not move for a mistrial after the trial court sustained his objection to the question and gave a curative instruction.
