[¶ 1] The appellant was convicted of one count of sexual abuse of a minor and one count of attempted sexual abuse of a minor. In this appeal from those convictions, the appellant challenges the district court's admission of evidence of a prior conviction, and he accuses the prosecutor of committing misconduct during closing argument.
